Default Kinetix SSV Possible idle problem

I just finished installing the kinetix SSV.. it has idle fluctuation.. it goes from 650 to 900 every 20 seconds or so.. not sure what it is. I checked all hoses and i tightened all the bolts.. i disconnected the TB but battery was disconnected.. I 'reset' the position i think using the method posted on the forums and it didn't help.. what to do?

Gains you can feel in the midrange quite a bit.. and upper.. it doesnt feel like the engine ran out of juice after 5k krpm any more.. i have a 287 hp engine. Lower, i felt no loss, no gain. Sound is like..more muscle car sound.... induction of air does that. It has the same affect on the sound as the JWT intake did, except not as ricey. its deeper and boomier, on and it whines in the lower rpms. Sounds good, pulls a lot harder than before. I like it, even if it cost me a fortune. Since it took 5 weeks to make, it didnt affect me as much... there was no..ok now its in...now what? effect..

Welds are awsome, nicely made piece...mandrel bent, stainless steel..it uses a special tool to install so don't loosoe it..uhmm thas about it. Oh it also negates the stock throttle body coolant warmer lines... so ur TB will be cooler definatley. Idles much nicer now than stock. There was a **** load of JWT oil in my stock plenum lol. From when i reoiled the filter.. :-D

BTW, the instructions blew, if you need help installing it PM me. It was a PITA to get in cuz its a tight squeeze.

Idk how..i have them on my camera..

Btw those pretensioners on the stock strutbar are a ***** to get right. It took me like 30 minutes to figure out how to use it and then another 30 to make it so i can close my hood and not hit the kinetix.
