Is the air fuel a wide band? If not its reading of the stock narrow band sensors I'm assuming? At cretin rpms typically cruise rpms the o2s switch between 200-800mv and that is what you are seeing I believe. As far as the tuning portion I am unsure since I'm new to tuning. Iirc I saw a file in the repository pretty similar to your mods that could be used as a starting point.
