Trickflow upper problems...noise?

Well i bought a JLT Ram air tube, 75mm professional products TB and EGR, Trickflow upper and lower street heat, trickflow valve covers, 1 inch spacer, Adjustable fuel pressure regulator on SN95 fuel rails, new gaskets, coolant service with water wetter. Put it all on and fired it up, and it sputtered and then came out of it quick once it got fuel.

It is used but only for a very short time with a s/c, heads and f-cam. Then he went to a 347 KB setup. So i bought it.

Questions....at idle is makes a horrible high pitched noise from the intake. If i put my ear on the flow part of "trick flow " i can hear it bad. When i throttle it up, the noise goes away. Drove it up the road and didnt really get into it, but feels very sluggish. No coolant in the oil or anything. I dont know exactly what the pressure is comming through because i dont have a gauge right now. I installed one but it doesnt work.

Vaccum lines run as listed. Black vaccum line from vaccum tree on pass side in back, fuel regulator line to the back, pcv from the back, and line to the black tree on the drivers side firewall. Then the Evap line to the front of the intake and the other vaccum barb blocked off.

Any one have any kinda ideas....please?

Matt

someone else told me possible TB, but i have never heard of it on a professional. I have frm the BBK's. How can i get rid of this noise? Its very unbearable. Its so annoying i dont have any plans to drive it until it goes away. Its SUPER loud and i can hear it driving down the road when im not on the gas. when i let off it comes back.

I had this problem also. I called PP and they sent me a diagram showing where to drill a 3/16 hole in the the throttle blade. This helped but didn't completely eliminate the proble. Switched to a BBK and problem solved.
