I think you may be seriously underestimating the power you will make. I saw 350 to the wheels on a mustang dyno at only about 6-7lbs of boost with a non-intercooled side mount whipple. The only mods to the 4.8 were long tube headers and 1.85 rocker arms. A pd blower with no IC is almost a worst case scenario for HP per lb of boost. BTW, if you still have idle issues I can probably find a file from an LQ9 DBW with a baby 67mm turbo and an 02+LS6 cam to compare the DBW portion. I know that is night and day from a 4.8 with a real cam, but there might be something about the DBW that is similar.

making the ETC scalar smaller by 1000 from 4550 to 3580 ish completely fixed everything
