boss intake install

I just installed a Boss 302 intake , 85 mm.BBK TB, JLT CAI and a SCT X4 tuner with custom tune from BAMA. I didnt use the install kit and just ran a fuel line and eliminated the purge valve. Now my car has an erratic idle. Anyone else have similar mods or have the same problem with the Boss intake.

remove the BBK throttle body and put the stock one back on...if you can on the 5.0

the BBK throttle bodys are well known for having issues

Don't do it. Don't make me list the reasons why.

I'd like to here that list, and btw I've heard that they crack if you run them when it's too cold out?

Would we have enough space here to list it all?

You've got my interest, I have always heard great things about Procharger.
