The TWM stacks were synched using a synchrometer. It has a high lift Crane solid lifter roller cam with 10.5 pistons. We have tried everything and can't get it to run right. The MAP sensor is all over the scale and the latest diagnosis is that the stock plenum in the TWM manifold needs to be larger. This would mean installing an external plenum, as there is no room in the stock location. I don't know whether this is the right way to go, or another dead end. Has anyone had this problem?

Is your idle air control motor connected to the same plenium that you MAP sensor is connected into? If so, this is your problem. The IAC needs a seperately feed plenium from the MAP sensor. Otherwise, when you IAC opens at idle, you map sensor will give a false reading due to the vacumn leak created in the plenium to let idle air into the motor. If you think this is the problem, shut off (close) your IAC and see if you MAP readings stablize. I bet they will. If this is the problem, let me know and I can give you some suggestions to get you motor to idle well without the IAC.
