How'* your idle? Did you reset the PCM?

If you don't use a heatshield to make it a TRUE CAI, you're better off going back to the stock airbox.

Cause it normally affects how the MAF reads. If I take my screen out without resetting the PCM, it won't idle at all, even if I do reset it, it'* still rough.

Yours seems fine, though.
