it started, and OMFG it sounds sooooo f***ing mean!!! The tune is way off, she holds an idle for a bit and starts to die, but stays idling for the most part. I have an oil leak issue around the valve cover/front cover/block area. I'll pinpoint what and where exactly after I move the P/S pump and oil filter. If it weren't for the leak, I'd be driving it

the 2nd oil leak was coming from a NPT plug that Trick Flow has you use to plug off a non-used oil source hole for the chain tensioners. There's tensioner mounting pads on both sides of each head since 4.6 heads are universal. I guess there wasn't enough thread sealant on the plug so I filled the recessed hole with RTV.
There's some minor idle quality and part throttle issues which I sure the tune will take care of.
Any idea of what's up?

pulled the plug, recoated the seals and tightened it back up = no more oil leak 
I really need to get a tune..... March 6th is my date. There is so much pull in the mid range that is making *****-footing a huge tease
