I owe you big time (again haha).
Glad it worked out for you, i know how annoying it is when the a vehicle dies on you all the time... I learned alot when i went threw the same problems on mine after the cam and converter install...

Scott what you need to do now is get to the track and see what the new combo will do! It should do alot better now that it idles on its own and you wont be heat soaked soo bad.

As far as I know, yes. But nobody said tuning this thing was gonna be easy, and it really took actually being there with the truck trying different adjustments in the tune. Also looks like I might need to get some new O2 sensors as 1 of them is getting lazy.

But so far it looks like everything is fine. I will be logging it some this week to make 100% sure that the problem was in the tune, and not an air leak somewhere. I did have a leaking FPR vacuum line, which was what was causing me hell down at Ennis on the 1st, but that got fixed right away. All it took was getting the fuel trims in line at idle and adjusting the start up to give the motor time to catch idle.
