thanks for the support guys. Yeah missouri, it really was the TPS, after all the troubleshooting I had done, It kinda had to be. I put it on, adjusted idle screw, adjusted tps with multimeter, started it up, and it was a whole new beast. The timing plug actually idled it down, so I timed it, and adjusted the TPS with it running to find the sweet spot. I still don't have cold start though?

But the cam, ah the cam, I seriously can't believe how much power it adds to a stock engine, WOW, its never ran that good! Tons of power and acceleration, and in takeoff, it'll be easier on the clutch, cause i barely have to give it gas.

It really makes me wonder how good it would run with EB's RV freakn Head!? I'll be moving to Eugene soon so EB with practically be my neighbor (as oppossed to Wisconsin) and I might check on doing a 22re with all EB's goodies.

But I've found new love for the truck, I even redid the rear heater that I had bypassed due to it leaking. I put in rubber heater hoses instead of metal. Next is rear brake job (total) new windshield and some actual exaust (not barely there cat only lol) Its a bit rusty, I still owe you guys a pic!

Edit: kewlynx, idle screw? You mean the throttle stop screw? thats what I adjusted until it was up to 900rpm, them found the sweet spot on the TPS, what that wrong? Is there an actual idle screw? oh goodness

Double Edit: I found the idle screw, if it was any closer it would have bit me in the nose. I went back and adjusted everything, but in all honsesty , I think it was a little quicker off the line the way I had it with the throttle plate adjusted for the idle and the TPS diailed in while it was running.
