New Motor - trick flow

Make sure there is no vacuum leaks or any other sort of leaks like that

I have the Street Heat Kit. my idle finally is staying still at 900 after i got the chip done. timing is set at 16'. your idle might be jumping from that leak around your intake, becuase the cam makes it jump but not by that much. good luck with it

for the starting prob, it is prob your timing. think it is to far retarded, therefore firing way before TDC and the starter has to turn the crank while the piston is still on the compression stroke for the extra amount of time. for just getting it running and putting around town, start with 10* BTDC. also check your power wire(corrosion?) for the starter. also check the block/frame ground as well. is your battery charged as well?

vacuum leak, check the gasket on the IAC. check the pcv valve and hose. those are a booger to put on with the upper intake is on. unless you know that it is on.
