Any other mods or changes likeconvert to MAF? If not is your MAP sensor hooked up and all vacuum lines good? Any obvious sucking noise when running?

Just reading on Trick Flows site is says 75mm so that may be it but not certain. If it stays running giving it gas, does it have a rich smell from the exhaust?

no it's not the problem , your entire stock induction is adequate for up to about 300 hp

i'd say you need set the idle,tpsand reset your computer. thats assuming you truly don't have any vac leaks, because if you do...thats the problem
