    Well it now comes down to fine tuning. Idle & fast idle speed was a little too high, @ 1000 rpm. back off the two screws to no avail. Upon closer look I found that the linkage for the high speed cam may have been tweaked in the several times I've seperated the Air horn from the Throttle Body. Using needle nose pliers I adjusted the linkage rod slightly to increase it's overall length to get that high speed screw off of the the last step of the cam. I'm doing this incrementally so's not to screw things up any further. Wish me luck!\

    Yeah, it was a combination of that rod and the fast idle screw. Pretty close to dialed in now.
