Default Just installed new MAF conversion and.....

now the car has a big time idle surge issue and surges at low speeds? It is a 76mm C&L MAF, 30lb injectors, computer all calibrated for the injectors. The car never had any issues with idling before. The car has an E303 cam, Edelbrock upper and lower intakes, BBK headers, no cats, Mac exhaust, etc. It seems like it is not as "crisp" as before and as funny as it seems, the exhaust doesn't seem to sound the same when you get on it?? I am confused...any suggestions? Oh, it's a 1998 GT....thanks in advance

you have to let the car learn what youve done.. also, you dont have the MAP sensor connected to a vac line still... do you?

Stock heads? If so 30 lbs injectors may supply too much fuel for stock heads and an e cam.
