fuel mixture.
Let it warm up first. Does it do this while the engine is warmed up? Do you have the stock throttle or a larger throttle?

Could be the AFM

Check AFM / head temp sensor plugs... check your spark plugs... is it fouling out (running pig rich) ?

Might have something to do with running the KA TB on a non turbo motor. The turbo motors dont rely on the WOT switch of the TPS the way the non-turbos do. Just a thought cause I remember bleach saying he had problems with a KA TB on his NA a while back.
