I installed a Trickflow upper/ lower manifold.
The idle sounds OK but, when I pressed the throttle it stalled. So, I adjust the TPS sensor.
When I pressed the throttle it hesitated to rev up.
The Mass Air, throttle body/spacer, and all engine components are all STOCK.
What could it be? Anyone here have the same manifold on their car? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Gasket is either busted or pinched or slid down during install or mis-routed vacuum lines

If that is the only thing you changed and the issue Cropped up. Do it over and check it out. If you suspect a Vacuum leak smoke it to find it.

use some hylomar blue to get a good seal around the bolt holes and maybe a few other spots.

Also thinking vacuum leak. Was it a brand new intake or used? sometimes you have to go through all the fittings and make sure they are not loose. I had an explorer intake that one of the hose fittings had cracked welds. One of the ones that are UNDER the plenum

Check your timing it might be way retarded or a tooth off that will make it not want to rev/idle
