Default Need some help

So just got my car back from the tuner. The idle has been acting a little weird. And sometime when idling long enough it will throw the p0300 missfire code. The tuner said the MAF was reading odd when at idle and slight throttle. I have a d1sc procharger on it with the procharger surge valve located a foot after the blower. The tuner said it seems as though the surge valve isn't opening up all the way making the MAF read off. What do you think?

I think that is should have been tuned in speed density. What is the vehicle? some are more difficult to tune in SD than others.

No reason not to tune it in speed density IMO.
