They have an engine support at the oceana auto hobby shop, and a trans lift, and pretty much any tool i need... should go rather smooth I think

LOL I'm pretty sure I'll be buying lunch diner and some beers for who ever helps me out with this... so far its me, my buddy shannon, and the connor.

hey connor you said you don't have your engine support brace... where would i be able to find one at?
If we were in Utah I could tell you. I'm still a stranger out here. I know Justin was using one the other day. You might want to see if he could help you out with that one.

I have all of this stuff, except the engine support brace.

You guys got it all wrong. MUG FTW! Although, I will admit that A&W makes a good cream soda.

justin says its a boost leak... something just isnt tightened enough so its nothing major thats causing the problem.. we will find whats not tight and get it fixed right up. your car is still a fairly new car as well oonly 5K miles and some change.. where mine is at 18K now. so im good and broken in. i added my parts gradually so the computer could adapt at a slow pace. that was alot of parts just slapped on a fresh car... so dont get discouraged just yet. we will take car of it. but it sounds beautiful.

The rpm bouncing thing is something the LSJ guys are very familiar with. It's a fluctuation of the amount of air and fuel. The computer will see that one is lower than normal nd try to compensate with the other. It will cause the rpm's to go up and down until it gets everything back to normal. When you see this, to prevent the car from dying, I recommend trying to press the accelerator a little. This should help it out a little. But, it is something that should be taken care of. Could most likely be an air/vacuum leak.
