Can you run the stock throttle body with this? My car has the intake manifold, the JLT, but has the VMP adapter with the stock throttle body.

Car sometimes tries to die after driving it for a while, then shutting it off to say go in a store. Then turning back on. Will drop to like 350rpm

I would start with data logging and sending to tune, also check for vacuum and air leaks

Vac is being checked right now. Getting smoke tested, etc.
The driver side tailpipe has black on it. The passenger is clean as it should be. Wondering if It's just running rich. I've had the car hooked up while running with a snap-on device, everything seemed to be stock.

That kit is meant to be used with the GT350 throttle body. If you're using a stock GT throttle body with it, that's probably why you're having problems. They are not the same.

Vacuum lines were all re ran yesterday. It's running a lot better. It's not as erratic. Also, the idle is better. The car sounds different even.

Yep, the pack comes with the correct version and to work properly it has to be installed also. It’s an engineered system and needs all the parts to work correctly.

“Power Pack 3. If you're looking to get the most out of your 2015-2017 GT Mustang then Ford Racing's Stage 3 Power Pack is for you. The Power Pack 3 includes the same exact Intake Manifold, Cold Air Intake and 87mm Throttle Body that are found as original equipment on the VooDoo powered Shelby GT350.”

Problem is, I don’t know if it’s exactly a PP3. It’s 350 intake, vmp adapter, 80mm (stock) throttle body, and JLT cold air intake. Modules all look stock. It’s running a lot better now that the vacuum is dealt with.

With the stock 80mm TB you could have a stock tune or an aftermarket or a Ford PP3. If you have the PP3 it will not run correctly as that tune needs the 87mm GT350 TB.

What RPM is your rev limiter in gear?

Have not found out yet. I can try it tomorrow when I have some free time.
