Default Governor Spring Kit

ok guys i just put the governor spring kit in my pickup this morning. i dont know what it is but i dont think the 4000 gsk and a performance 13" clutch on a five speen get along very weel. i adjusted the idle and in nutral it is at just below 900 as soon as i turn the ac on she drops down bellow 400. also when i start out in first she bucks worse then a bull at the rodeo. tell me is this normal because if it is there coming out tonight. let me know what is going wrong please

you need to reuse the big spring that was in there factory. did you do that? that is the idle spring.

i'm 99% sure you need that big spring in there.... i don't feel like going out side and tearing mine apart to look at it but i have virturally the same kit it's a TST 4k kit. put it in and you'll prolly have to adjust the idle back down since you prolly idled it up some.

EDIT uppon further review yes you need that big spring in there. put it in and you'll be happy.
