The al gore lights make it to dark, but it is mostly intended to hear it running anyhow.

Sounds great!

You still needing to resolve the FRPS vacuum? Get a 3/8-1/8-3/8 vacuum T, cut and insert it in the brake booster vacuum line. Or T it to the evap line. Or V6's have a solid line to the brake booster and we get frps vacuum from different vacuum ports on the v6 intake manifold.
Look at a stock GT setup, at the brake vacuum line.

Car is idling fine, but having some problems with higher rpm's, has something to do with the MAF and I figured out the frps vacuum line.
