I just recently installed a STR throttle body onto a skunk-2 manifold, and at first i thought i had a problem then after driving it a little it seemed like the engine was bogging down, now it idles pretty rough and it even cut off multiple times while driving it, i shaved excess throttle body gasket off and cleaned everything except i havent taken tests of the ohms yet, would the tps sensor make it bog down even if it wasnt open or closed all the way???????????

Well, first of all you need to replace that gasket that you shaved off because it prevents and vacuum leak. And yes your TPS can cause your car to idle roughly. The proper way to adjust it is your use an multimeter but I did it by hand while the car was on. You can feel and hear the idle of the car when adjusting the TPS.
