Check all of your vac lines. Was everything hooked up on the intake manifold that was on the stock one?

yes, everything was hooked up on the manifold... bcuase i had the manifold hooked up the day before i tried installin the throttle body... but im pretty sure that the throttle body just wasnt prefectly set up againt the manifold cuzin it to leak a bunch of air and cuasing the rpms to do that.. but my new question is do i really need a throttle body ? i wantin to go all motor.... do i relally need to buy a throttle body now or can i still upgrade my cams and vave train w/ out a throttle body... thanks

throttle cable is ok? when going to the skunk 2 on the gsr you need the typer throttle cable and bracket if you dont have this it might be adjusted to far and holding the throtlebody open.....
