Default b16a idling like poo

After I swapped my edelbrock Victor x IM for a Skunk2 my idle started acting wacky. It idles at about 1500, and after I blip the gas a little bit, the rpms will drop down to 800-900 then immediately jump back up to 1500. Does anyone have any ideas?

the car hesitates really badly when I drive it too.. like if I just barely depress the throttle pedal the car wants to jerk back and forth till i give it more throttle..

Spray carb cleaner all around where the leak could be. When the idle jumps, you've found your leak location.
