Default 2004 GT

Good morning everyone. I recently became a horsepower fanatic. I bought an 04 mustang gt for 7K with only 32Kmiles on it. I believe car sat for a while because HP was way low and rusted. I made changes I put K&N Intake, 40's Flowmasters, BBK 86mm MAF, 30LB Fuel Injectors, Accel Coils ,and NGK Iridium Spark Plugs. HP is not too bad now, however now my RPM is at like 600 at Idle after the Mods. Any ideas on how to fix this issue or is it normal for this to be like this? It doesnt Idle rough or anything and has quick takeoff but takes longer to change gears at higher RPM. What should I do.

wait a minute i'm sorry i missed something the first time i read that.

you changed the injectors to 30lb-ers, did you get the car re-tuned?

and really, the only things worth doing are longtubes and gears. these cars dont do anything with boltons.

I also forgot to mention that the BBK MAF is calibrated for the 30lb fuel injectors
