Idle tuned prior to MAF or doesnt matter? I am getting ready to start the MAF and VE Tuning, but not sure if the idle tuning needs to be done first? On one hand, if the VE and MAF are dialed in the Idle should get closer. On the other, I dont F know!

Also, tried the RAF / MAF spreadsheet in the sticky and it came back with only a couple cells needing adjustment. How long do I log idle in P/N and Gear?

I was dumb and spent a bunch of time tuning my idle before I tuned the VE and MAF. I had it idling absolutely perfect. Then once I put the car into speed density to tune VE the idle went to **** 
. Finally got the VE done and the maf calibrated and it still wouldn't idle at all, so I got to start all over on my idle tuning. To make a long story short, do your idle last so you don't waste a ton of time like I did.

This is exactly what I was thinking.
Correct me if I am wrong:
I need to log certain PIDs, then tune the VE first, then MAF second and finally tune (retune idle)? Which VE tuning steps are you guys using? Seems like theres more than one way to skin this puppy, just want to get it done already.
TIA,
