heres what i did sitting at my desk while i should have been working. If it doesnt run at all, use your old required fuel settings.

Before you upload this, save your tune somewhere.

Do i just open an old project and then load that file? Or should i create a new file and go through calibrating everything?

start off by opening the project and "save tune as" and save what you currently have to your desk top.

Then, while connected, goto "load tune" and upload mine.

Ive seen the required fuel do some weird things when in batch fire, (probably a good answer for this that i dont know) so if it doesnt run at all, just look at your old tune and use the values that you originally had.

I didnt change any other settings that would prevent it from running.

When making changes, just keep in mind that if everything else is right, the VE should be smooth. Engines wont typically require more VE at a lower load then it will at higher load in the same RPM cloumn

Yea you can. Make sure you turn off the accel enrichment and give me some steady throttle datalogs. Like going up a long hill, cruising, ect. Don't go above 12 or so in boost if you boost it. Make sure your boost cut is set low, like 2 psi above spring pressure

Also, why when i try to hold the rpm steady ( no matter what rpm it is) it sputters and fluctuates. It looks like it goes lean for a second then rich again

Was driving car around a little more and noticed it has that stumble at any rpm theres no specific rpm it does it at and if you try to hold steady rpm it will drop and raise about 500 rpm on its own. I noticed it goes lean for a second when it drops the rpms.

That sounds like either a vacuum leak or the timing value is way off

Try adding 10% of fuel everywhere and see if it stabilizes

What would adding 10% fuel solve?

The whole motors been sprayed before and no leaks were present.

Timing value being way off id believe.

A lot of times you can cover up issues like small vacuum leaks by running it way fat but really it doesn't help us much ultimately

I can take a look at the logs tomorrow during work

i took a look at the logs.

Couple things, first get it to a real operating temp, or make sure your CLT is calibrated right.

And as far as the surging, its either going to be a ignition setting thats wrong, your timing isnt synced or its walking, or you have a rather large vacuum leak.

Does the motor sound like its all there? The map singal looks rather noisy like a misfire or something?

does it ever run smooth?
