305 to 350 problems

I've just done my 305 to 350 conversion, (and a 700r4 to t-5) (90 marow RS). After a ton of headache I got pretty much everything dealt with except now my idle when warmed up is crap. It just will not stay running, I didn't know if my set up: throttle body to trans-dapt spacer to adapter plate to edelbrock performer could be the problem.....? Any advice, I read the thread talking about "tbichips". Thats what I'm running.... problem diagnosed?

thanx

Jay and RIP

You changed the computer and the TBI? What kind of 350 do you have, a LO5?

The speed density system of the TBI is calibrated to a LO5 350, not whatever 350 you happen to have. That's why it's not running worth ***. You probably need a tune.

Yes, as in the computer needs to be calibrated to your particular setup.
