i just put on the trick flow kit h/c/i and the motor was not running right so i replaces the o2 sencers and it stopped the surging but the motor still seems slugish and has no power so i checked the vaccume. its running at about 10.5 to 11. i called trick flow and they sayed that it sould not run any lower then 12. well i have checked all the vaccume lines and cant find any vaccume leeks. anyone have any ideas?
 
Sounds like a vacum leak to me. Check your sealing surfaces around the upper and lower intakes. Probably leaking in one of those areas. You can test with TB cleaner or other lubricant, I prefer oil in a squirt can, messy but less likely to catch fire.
 
I would say that 12 is even too low. Mine idles at 16 and i thought that was a little low?!?! Check for proper routing and check the vac manifold on the pass side fenderwell
