I dont think the issue is the fact that youre a "chevy man".











I think its much deeper than that...

Well I cleaned the throttle body bore tonight.
It was really gummed up behind the throttle blade,, what a huge difference!

It really is a lot smoother now,, no more jerking and neck snatching action,,, unless I nail it!

Thanks for the help! Its a totally different car to drive now.
