Hello, all! I'm new here, and I have a bit of a problem that I hope you can help me with.
I just got the TruFiber GTS-4 hood- it has functional ram scoops that dump over the CAI. Now when I go above 40mph and then let off the gas, my car stalls out. It's obvious what the problem is- there's too much air in the engine and so it's running lean. I need suggestions to fix this!
I have a few ideas as to how I can fix it, but can you please let me know if they're along the right lines or if they're completely wrong? As of now, I have cardboard blocking the duct. It worked to get me home so my engine wasn't stalling every few moments, but I don't want to keep it that way if at all possible.
Those were all the ideas - I'm really hoping that a Throttle body will help, but I honestly have no idea. :/ Has anyone ever experienced this (or something similar) and knows how I can fix it?
Thanks so much for your help!

- New tune that calls for more fuel - But will I run rich when I'm off the throttle?
- Get a K&N Air filter and put it in the duct to restrict air flow into the CAI...
- Cover the CAI - I have a Steeda CAI
- Get a Throttle Body to control the air intake (will this stop too much air from getting in the engine when I let off the gas though??)
