When im in the low rpm's I get a lil bit of studdering, What can cause this? Its a freshly built motor by Dee by the way.

Vac leak, Maf, fouled plugs, wiring issue, coilpacks, ignitor ect. Sounds like your getting to much fuel. Is it tuned? Ecu throwing any codes. Whats your setup ect, we need some more info. Dont blame this on Dee (your probably not) but its probably something simple.

and i dont think he was blaming Dee. he was just saying, its a motor rebuilt by Dee and Dee is legit as f*ck. so it cant be the motor. maybe? eh....

Upgrade to a walbro STAT. The stock fuel pump sucks. Fix that cracked line that the air is rushing out of.
