I'm with inspyral, if you "ported" the throttle body, and didn't replace the throttle plate with a larger one, it's very possible to have run-away. Adjusting the idle just threw the timing off so far that it couldn't rev easily. If that's not the problem, you most definately have air being sucked by a gasket, or have an open vaccuum port.
