Default Ahh Help Save My Eyes!!!

OK guys i finally got my idle tuning down but now the cars exhaust REALLY smells bad. Its so bad that if im sitting at a light with the windows down my eyes will begin to burn. Is it fuel? My ltrims are about 0.8-1.5 (positive) I know i want to shoot for a negative but i figured this was close enough to zero id let it be. Also i noticed at night when i take off from a light i can see fumes in the persons behind me glare of thier headlights. Kinda looks like blue smoke but cant really tell cause its dark, but there is definatly some kinda of fumes coming out?? Another thing is that when my heater is on i cant stand it for more than about 15 mintues without the entire car filling with this awful exhaust smell. I figured it could be a leak but no everything is sealed up really well. ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO SAVE MY EYES??

Mods:forged 347 H/C Kook LT's ORP Borla..blah blah blah

please help!!!

Have you tried lowering the MVE table under 1200 rpm? It sounds like your car is running too rich at idle. Big cams typically do, but they seem to respond positively when lowering the MVE table.

Good luck,

Richard
