installed trick flow intake, idling rough

I just got done installing a trick flow street intake on my 87 mustang 5.0. I got it to idle but it sounds really rough and when i give it gas it dies when i let go of the pedal. It seems to be runing lean. Any ideas of what i need to do?
Thanks,
Ben

Did you reset your TPS voltage, hook back up all your sensors? check for vacuum leaks?

checked for vacuum leaks didn't find anything, messed with the timming, it didn't change much. Next i'm going to mess with the tps. Also i don't have a MAS. would i need one with this intake?

RE: installed trick flow intake, idling rough

MAS is the sensor and MAF is the tube/assembly.

The speed desitiy should be able to handle the intake swap. Did you hook the MAP back up? PCV? I would bet you have a vacume leak. Do you have the vacume line hooked back up to the FPR? Something simple I bet.
