Sounds like the tune.Also the MAF could be going out as well. Have you tried tapping the MAF while the car is idling to see if the miss occurs.

I'm betting it's your maf too. I had an aftermarket on mine and it did the same thing you're describing. As soon as the stock one went back on, it smoothed out nicely and wasnt at all so rich.

Is there any reason it might need a cleaning?

If the car smells rich you might be fouling out plugs.

Too bad you don't have a MAF Translator around, those were fun for those kinds of problems back when I was a 422ci na setup... I could just mess with the base setting.

Probably MAF KAOS, especially if it only misses warm, because when it's cold it's not going off of the MAF.

I just realized I left that wide open, but when it's cold it's going off of the open loop table, so it's basically the same as your last setup. However, when it's warm it's going off of the close loop table which is basically opposite of your last setup. Alex should be able to reconcile that for you.
