List of mods:
gt-40 heads
cobra intake w/ 65mm tb
b-303
5spd
A9(not L) computer,car was an auto
tps=.987v

The car's idle is jumping up and down between 900 and 400 rpm's. It fights to stay on but cant hold and idle for more than a minute i would say. One more weird thing, it has a cold air and it whistles/whines when i accelerate. Other than that, once it is on the road it runs friggin great. [burnout]

try bumping the idle up. did you set the timing?

tighten the adjusting screw on the TB until the idle is around 1k rpm, with a cam you will have idling problems so get used to it [dance]
