Its installed... and it definitely makes a big difference! Right now I have some growing pains I think... I need to get the set screw adjusted right that's next to the linkage, we have a slight idle issue and I am almost certain I have it figured out, I just need to replicate it tomorrow to be sure and if I cant replicate it then so be it as long as its gone. When I shut it down tonight it was gone. Other than that its on and its a nice improvement!

Idling up an down when in park... when I am in gear it idles normal, idles normal after driving and coming up to a light. I think I have the screw adjusted two far in causing the butterfly to be open. Before I brought it home I backed that screw off drove it then parked it and all was well ...so tomorrow I am going to try and get it set right because right now i know its not set right because the blades are grabbing alittle... make sense?

Yup, that makes sense.

You can try recentering the blade like I described on FB. Loosen the screws, open and shut the throttle a few times and retighten.

That searching idle was one of the issues I had. If it wasnt searching, it found a nice spot right about 1,000 RPM.

Good luck Billy!

I got the searching to go away, it idled normal (after getting it home) and I didn't restart the truck... so thats why I think its the screw screwing me Well I hope anyways, all I know is I adjusted it while it was running, I didnt hear a change in idle, I was kinda agitated because I didnt know what the ssue was, so I dont remember if I gave it a few revs and it didnt change, but then I drove it home and it was back to normal. Anyways I am rambling and I need some sleep...LOL

Yeah I may recenter them too to get that catch to go away, but its hardly noticeable. My buddy (the brother I never had) jumped in the seat and said he didn't notice anything abnormal...so I know its more a user preference then an issue

Yeah, I would just take if off, recenter the blade and adjust the screw so the throttle sits at a 90* angle to the bore. While youre at it, pop a cold one. It will help with any frustration you may encounter.
