Yeah but it’s loud and not quite the right sound you want to hear from a motor you pour your time into

At startup, the engine should flare to about 1500 rpm, then settle slowly back to around 650-700 at idle. Does it do that?

Is it actually blowing out? Or is it sucking in???? Is the throttle body nice and clean?

I 'expect' some noise from it, when IAC is open..... get a fair bit of flow noise there, but, most of that should be muffled by the filter housing.....

Then you either have a cam timing issue, or a clogged cat..... clogged cat would leave the engine WAY down on power.......
