rpms when shifting into gear is ?

Rpms in N is ??

both engines doing the exact same thing here ? both showing the same rpms as well ?

Never stalls in N and you can throttle up and back down to idle rpm without it ever stalling in N using throttle only ?

stock OEM set up here ?

SCX drive or just gear lube bottles --- so something on the engine is not stock at all to warrrant an SCX drives if applicable . What the set up in detailed here.

How new is the IMCO drive bottles install ?

this happens on the water hose also ?

Stock ignition ?

whats the voltage readings when engines stalls ? and what is the voltage when you shift into gear ? what is voltage reading in N - still want to know what rpms are ?

rpms are 850 in neutral and 750 in gear.

rpms are 850 in neutral and 750 in gear.
Both engines show the same rpm and only having an issue with one motor.
Once I get passed the shift I have no issues throttling up or back down. Doesn't happen every time and only happens at idle.
non stock set up - 540's with Prochargers.
I've been running this motor set up with SCX drives for the past 3 seasons.
Havent run it on the hose as boats in the water.
Running MSD boxes.
Havent checked voltage yet - planning to look at it again today

Thats a whole different world for testing and trying to figure out whats wrong NOT BEING STOCK AT ALL. Nothing is stock period. Dart throwing for the fix. I did asked what was voltage readings so monitor it

is this an CARB or EFI set up ? Alot of info needs to be known to even come close for a fix.

Looks like the issue is the throttle position sensor. Anyone know if this is a standard GM part that might be available at a local auto parts store?
