Yup, thats all I changed.
I think there is actually something else wrong, just being coincedence.
I tried new O2 sensors (both) last night and it fired up and idled much better, but still shook some. Took it for a drive and it was ok, but then slowly started running like crap again. It is loading up with fuel horribly.
I'm a bit lost at this point.

You're absolutely, positively sure that the intake elbow is mounted on the TB correctly and there are no tears in it? Just sounds like an intake leak after the MAF to me. Double check every inch after the MAF and all around the lip over the TB. Aftermarket TB's can give some problems but it's usually nothing like that!
Intake leak after the MAF is what is also sounds like to me.
Whats happening is...the motor is sucking in umetered air causing it to lean. The PCM try to compensate for it by bumping up the BLMs to richen it up based on the o2s. This process contunues until the BLMs are maxed out and the PCM cant make any more corrections. Eventually it will reset itself and start over. Thats why you see them drop back to 128 and contunue to rise again.

Well after sitting a couple of days, I put some fresh fuel into it. Like I stated before, I also have also installed new O2 sensors.
The car runs great now. Seems to be working ok at all RPM levels. Now I just have to do some new VE changes and trans table changes and I should be set.
Thanks for the help guys!
