have you checked to make sure everythings still hooked up right? obvious thing to do...but it sounds like something disconnected.

Check the TPS to make sure its ok, check to make sure the throttle body isn't bypassing air anywhere, and that all vacuum connections are still ok in the intake manifold. Maybe this has somethign to do with the Skunk2's 'single' design over the stock IM's butterfly design?

havent checked it out yet but i will in the morning so i get a clear vision. i did took a glance it seems like everything is still on there where its supposed to be. do you guys think the timing also could cause it to run like that at all? im thinking maybe if its the timing but js a question. dont wanna assume other things yet until i really look at it in the morning

Hay did you check if the gasket you use is correct? It might be an air leak because of it.

i guess you have a aftermarket intake arm/filter combo as well? what happened to me last time, was the filter got sucked onto the pipe and got stucked on there...check to see if your filter isnt stuck up on to your intake tube
