Idle problems

I just put a SRI in and ever since, 2 days, it idles extremely low. When i'm driving and put it in neutral it will sometimes go so low that it stalls out. Not real familiar with it but I would imagine there is a way to adjust the idle...?

There isn't. Disconnect your battery for 10 minutes, then start the car and let it idle for 10 minutes, then take it for a drive. Your ECU just hasn't adjusted to the new intake.

Clean your MAF.

readjust your SRI, i had this same problem and it bugged me like a bad rash
make sure the silicone hoses are real snug and the clamps are tight enough
somewhere your not getting enough air
