I don’t know what the sniper uses for a temp sensor but there are two kinds. NTC is negative temperature coefficient or PTC positive temperature coefficient. NTCs decrease in resistance as the temperature goes up and PTCs increase in resistance as the temp increases.
so if an NTC were used when it should be a ptc or vice versa you could have strange problems.

PCV breather?
Could be, but I was referring to the air filter canister. LC's came with well thought out "breathers", the original is better than most.

Yup.
All that heated air rising off your header has less density then the thin but cool air at your altitude. Besides the exhaust heat, you are drawing in warmed air from the radiator. At high altitude, it's difficult enough to get enough air for ideal combustion. Your current filter flows great, but the stock breather ducts in denser cool air that provides more oxygen to the combustion chambers.
This may not be the problem at hand, but it contributes.

DO you have a pic of your set up? Did you use FJ60cams adapter?Yup.

I got mine from Redline in Colorado Springs, but it looks similar.

What I've found is the timing setting on the sniper can reek havoc on Idle. Also make sure the Idle you set on the sniper is adjusted properly on the unit.
It takes a good bit of fiddling with to get everything happy. Every 2F is different.
