Default MS3 guys chime in got a ?

hey guys just wondering if you have problems with your cam running really rich during idle, I have a great tuner but i think i might need to work on it a little more keep in mind my o2's are bad that probally has a lot to do with it but if anything else please let me know i just wanted to get some ideas from people with this cam.

I have an a/f gauge and when I start my car up cold it is of course in open loop and its running a little over 15:1 and even though its that lean it still smells rich. With the amaount of overlap of a big cam like that I think its gonna smell.

yea im thinking my o2 problem is what it could be because we spent 4 hours with hp tuners and got it down pretty good but the idle is still giving me a little problem
