chugging on 1st start-up

i just finished putting my stroker in my car and tried starting it. it started but it runs like crap. it chugs pretty bad and the rpm's range from about 200-900 and i have to feather the gas to keep it running. i have new spark plugs, wires, gas, and fuel filter. my mechanic said the tps might need to be adjusted but he doesnt know what it should be at. does anyone know what the tps should be at for a 1987 trans am? im kind of confused because i thought it is just adjusted by a screw.

Re: chugging on 1st start-up

ok i got it up to about 2000 rpm for about 10 minutes tonight, but around the 10 min mark i noticed the oil pressure gauge was at 0 so i shut it off. any ideas why i would have no oil pressure?
