Running Funny??

After the install of most of the performance goodies listed in my signature, I have noticed a whole list of "funny running" issues:

1. It shakes a lot at idle, kind of feels like a cammed big block

2. when I start it cold and stand outside it makes a "Psht Psht Psht" noise and ticks under acceleration

3. If I hit a bump when idling around (speed bump...) the engine sputters.

4. Sometimes at 900 rpm it feels like the engine is going to die, especially when slowing down and the revs come down quickly to 900 rpm... then it clears up?

5. It seems to need a hit on throttle to start like it used to.

Any ideas???
