idle, general goofyness

after a ton of procrastinating, i finally pulled the 3 gsk off and attempted to find my idle sweet spot once again.
so after a few hours of messing with it sunday, here are the results, chime in if it makes any sense what so ever

since first install of 3gsk, wont idle, i have to drive with 2 feet. if i raise the idle to stay running in gear, it races when in park. so i have left the idle low and delt with 2 footed driving a while.
Now the odd part, when it gets cold, and its been 30s a few days here, in park, it will idle. right around 8-900 rpm, when its warm outside, wont do it, stalls immidiately.

the other thing i noticed is when in park, or N i can rev out to about 2900-3000 no problem, but when driving, it seems to hesitate past 2500.

ideas?

naturally id like it to rev to 3000 + and idle and idle in gear.

i should have mentioned, this tinkering was in response to everyone telling me to go back to stock springs to get idle, then reinstall gsk, i couldnt get back to idle even with stock. wanted to make sure everyone knew i did try that first.

Try starting over with these instructions http://pacbrake.com/PDF/L5658.PDF
They may be better than what you used.
