I adjusted the valves so it doesnt sound like a sewing machine anymore so what needs to be done in the tuning to reduce some of the stalling.

well i just noticed you are in the phoenix area. if it still needs a tune i would reccomend Sean at Top Gear MotorSports his number is 480-461-0240, he uses tuner cat and did an awesome job tunning my car after i got my cam installed. Tell him Ben sent you, and its 200$ BTW.
