I remember reading some where you want the tps set at no higher then .98v or it could spike over to 1 volt. What that would do I have no clue ?? Would this statement mean anything to you guys."spike over"

If the "base" reading for the TPS is ~1.2v, the ECM sees it as bad, so that's what you could be referencing to.

Set your TPS to .95-.99, then adjust your TB to stock idle rpm and you are set. If you wish to adjust the idle higher, do it properly, with a chip.

This is the only and proper way to do it

Yes, its the same with a blower car. The rather stringent voltage range mentioned above isn't really necessary; keep it below 1v and you'll be good to go as mentioned in my original post. Steeda.ca is correct on changing the idle though, PROPERLY, you are supposed to do it with a chip or a tuning device like a TWEECER.
