have a custom chip burned that shuts off mass air at idle and your idle problems will be gone, if i can remember who did my friends i'll let you know.

you can get a tweecer rt,pms or the like...get your tune close..as it will take care of idle issue also..it's a great tool to take dyno and you don't have to chase the guy down that did your chip...also a great thhing is you can have several tunes on it for different driving conditions

your a/f ratio is most likely off, so i would suggest a chip or a tweezer. my choice would be tweezer and dyno tune for max hp. but then again, i would convert it to carb because it is much cheaper and easier to tune <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">

you can do a carb conversion for less than the dyno tune and the tweecer system. NEW $800 used $500
