Default help me please

Year ago replaced my throttle body with a BBK 80 mm, vehilcle starts but noticed lower RPM, about 600 in park, noticed a small miss, replaced wires and spark plugs, still runs the same, sometimes the engine almost stalls. The vehicle runs greats at higher RPM's, but at idle I notice a miss and I notice the engine shake a little then normal. I checked all the wires and they are good. BBK 80 mm throttle body, B&B catback. I have abou 87,000 miles.

This problem is a "NEW" problem, this didn't happen after the 80mm throttle body install correct?
