OK Kyle so you're running the same mass air as before? Where is it located in the piping?

i had the 90mm lightning mass air all hooked up WAY before i put the supercharger on. The Mass air is the first thing the air touches, then goes to the power pipe, then into the supercharger, then to the throttle body

All plumbing connections are tight correct? It could still be the mass air. That's why I went to a blow thru unit. However I had to work out the idle issue. It was a matter of clocking the mass air. But mine has been mounted in the stock location all along. Is the mass air supposed to work w/ the blower set up?
