Does this mean you didn't touch the air screws whilst the engine sat, oil warm, at idle - and only for idle? It's not a great idea to fiddle with the linkage between the throttle bodies since these can't easily be accurately measured for synchronised airflow at revs. Mercury sticks (now obsolete) or some sort of four column-type vacuum gauge such as what is shown above is required to get it accurate - again, at idle only.
