Since I had the 416 LS3 installed in the car I've been chasing a few problems:

1) a clunk in the steering from a stop. Inner tie rods? the steering feels a little odd, I already replaced the PS pump and drained/refilled fluid with new. Problem still exists.

2) RPMs drop when steering goes to full lock in both directions and if I don't feed it throttle the engine will die (still dies regardless sometimes). Rarely- but also rev matching on down shifts coming to a stop (no steering input) the RPMs dip just below 500rpm and then they come back up to idle..has died a couple times. Or an alternative to low RPM is high RPM idle after to coming to a stop from rev matching down shifts (sometimes without downshifts). It will idle around 1300 then after being stationary for ~3 seconds it drops back to the 800/900 idle.

3) Throttle cable on the NW 96 TB is loose causing a lag in the throttle input, how do I adjust this?

Any help or input?

You are not too far from CAM (Carolina Auto Masters) in Durham, NC. Jeff Creech runs the place and has done wonders with my 440RWP LT1 which is totally streetable. Tell him I sent you. He tunes anything GM using a wideband and dyno including carbureted stuff and is a good diagnostician. Just tell him what your problem is and he will do everything possible to tune it out. 919.215.3227. I am not associated with, but have known Jeff about 15 years.
