Spoke with Carmen. The adjustment setting was not where it normally is when I send them out. The previous owner may have modified it. I gave him some specs to try and I am waiting on results. Problem is high revs on an initial cold start.

If your car is running right before you change to the 90mm, it will either run right or be easy to adjust.
The problem described above usually happens if the RAF's cold are too high or the voltage screw has been messed with. Voltage cannot be set by a meter. GM does not do it that way because each TB motor is slightly different. It is done by blade angle.

I was told there was no way to get Nick W. TB to idle. We have 90MM TB # 2. Car wanted to hang @ 3000 RPM, etc.. It wasn't much fun to drive, and most folks had no clue what to do about it.
Funny thing. I talked with Nick, and got some help from a few other folks, and we simply re-did the tune on the car. We have the car running fine now.
Keep in mind this is with the "un-tunable" throttlebody. Car idles and drives great. I think we've eliminated the reduced power mode now entirely, but I need to re-check it, and haven't had time.
We're also testing speed density with it too...
As far as I'm concerned throttlebody issues are simply a tuning issue at this point, once you have TPS set. You get the tuning working, and the car will work. The issue I also see is many folks making changes to the PCM without sitting down to understand the interaction between certain fields so that making a change in one area is offset by changes in another area.
