Are you planning on purchasing the tuner from American Muscle?
If so, give them a shout and ask for their suggestions. Their customer service is outstanding.
Good luck!
Yeah that's who I'm ordering my tuner from if I could post a pic I would show you that white strip so y'all could me me read it lol

Alright we'll I will definitely check that out

Replace the BBK TB with the stock TB and see if that cures the problem.
The long tubes are just a co winky dink timewise.
