You have one pic of cloth seats and the rest of the pics show leather. Which does it have?

Why does where the IAC should be have a block-off plate?

Also, what is that box along the frame rail where the stock air box used to reside?

Hi; with the headers and addition of the exhaust and the gt40 intake, it wont idle correctly it surges ive done all the checks and resets so i deleted iac and just set idle where it works good, that box is the alarm module.

I saw your post.  It SHOULD idle fine.  You haven't done enough to mess up the idle as far as the parts changed.  You have a vacuum leak.

Agreed, unless engine cannot produce vacuum of approx 17-18" it should be able to idle just fine... Hi-perf cam, late ign timing or leaks are the usual cause of low vacuum...
