need advice on my car

hi there,

i'm having some problems and i would like some imput on it:

1.) Car just got the hotcam and programing from bryan, new o2 sensors, and wires. the car stubles/chuggs at idle in gear and it runs great beyond. what would cause this... i dont have vacum leaks and all sensors (tps, IAC) are clean. ?

2.) i sea-foamed the car it had hardly any vaccum from the thorttle body.. even when i gave gas.. it wouldn't really suck the seafoam?

3.) did some nice driving today, but i keep popping the transmission dip stick out? what does this mean?

Well...the reason your car is chugging and stuff @ idle. Your rocker arms could be a lil too tight. Taske off your valve covers and loosen them just like 1/8th of a turn. When i installed my hotcam and roller rockers. that what my car did...then i loosened them up just a lil bit...and it idled just fine. So good luck with that

Which connection did you use on the throttle body? If you used the upper one on the passenger side, the one that connects to the passenger side valve cover, that isn't a vacuum connection. That port is in front of the TB blades, and supplied filtered, metered air to the PCV system.
