Default Rough Idle, grouning, JWT Pop-Charger

I installed a custom grounding kit and I think my idle got a little rougher. Anyone else experience this?


Also, I just installed my JWT pop-charger and man does it rock. It makes the idle even rougher than before. My RPMs have a tiny, tiny bit of bounce at idle. Is that normal?


Any idea how to fix the rough idle? Better grouding kit?


Thanks,
JasZ

Anyone else having this problem?

No problems here. Only time my RPMs dip is when I'm pounding my stereo.

MIAPLAYA,

What kind of fluid did you use for differential since you are all synthetic. Sorry to change the subject. Thanks for the feedback.

dont worry about the idle. Common issue. If the car drives great who cares? Most high tuned motors idle like $hit anyway.

I just installed the grounding kit from z-xtreme (insaneamine) and my idle got a lot smoother. Before the grounding kit, when in neutral standing still, my shift **** would rattle back and forth like crazy -- now after the kit it doesn't rattle. My RPM at idle also seems to have dropped a tiny notch. I can also feel a little bit of a quicker response. I don't have the JWT so the rough idle might have to do with that.

It was for my Frontier but I imagine it works the same for the Z. Heres my break down.

Diff Oil: Redline 75W90
ATF: Redline (I forgot the class number)
