DFCO may be the devil...
Apparently DFCO has other uses. I got it working properly by analyzing my logs and plugging the right values in (+15kpa on enter and exit MAP). Now my fuel trims are way closer to what they should be because they are not going mysteriously rich on decel. Does this make sense to anyone else that this would happen? My reasoning is that under normal throttle (low vacuum) at x airflow your fuel requirements are different than the same airflow during decel (high vacuum). Just looking at the VE table this makes sense to me, and having DFCO working seems to "mask" the problem. The only place it does not seem to help is -10mph where DFCO is not active...but that is also where proportional idle (if it were enabled) would affect the trims...so that is the next thing I will tinker with since everything else is actually working now. The reason I bothered with getting DFCO working is because the PCM seems to want to dump extra fuel in the engine during decel and this was making my trim spread really high. This seems to have decreased the spread by a considerable amount.

Your trims go positive in DFCO mode? Mine go to 0. Sometimes the trims spike coming out of DFCO, but not most of the time. Are you sure you got all of your DFCO settings right?

19:1 is the lean limit on the WB so DFCO is working

Another - I have the same issue with the car under decel in gear A/F will go to 11:1 and sit there, then get back on the gas it spikes up to 16:1 or so then falls back into place.
is this what you would see as well?
if yes what were all the things to did to eliminate the problem?

When I was refering to DFCO lean I mean o2 readings, my LTFT freezes around 0. At low speed with your foot on brake DFCO can't be actve or the motor would die because the TC clutch unlocks when foot is on the brakes.
My DFCO is factory stock but I'm sure it works differently in M6's.

I should rephrase…My LTFTs go way positive and my AFR pegs at 19.x on the scan tool and the WB shows 20.7.

The only time I ever hit DFCO was in the Smoky Moutains, on very steep hills. If I was in 2nd, for example, and the car was still accelerating and the rpms exceeded a certain point, the exhaust note would suddenly change and you can tell more of a load on the engine. It shouldn't just happen when you let off the gas under normal conditions!
