Default Spacer installation gone wrong?

Today I decided to install my 5/16 motordyne plenum spacer, and JWT pop charger. After installation, I started the car and it turned over but it began to choke really bad. Afraid that something may blow up, I turned the car off. Have any of you guys done it yourself successfully and would probably be able to tell where I went wrong? Thank you.

Most likely problem is that you got the rubber cone around the oil cap stuck inside your upper and lower plenum. I've seen and heard it before. Easy fix. Just look at your oil cap and see if that rubber part around it is pinched inside your plenums.
