Hunting idle and unusually hard lope I just installed a cam and RADIX kit on my truck. The cam is 216/220 .525/.532 114. I got everything running and notice it lopes pretty hard until the STFT's get up to about +30, then it eases up. The STFT's keep climbing on up to 50+ though.
I multiplied the VE table by 80% up to 1200 rpm and added 3* timing up to 1000 rpm. I also raised the idle RPM by 150.
Can someone help me out with tuning this thing please?
EDIT: I want it to lope a little, but I want it to come down and idle decently too.

Go by the L-terms and adjust the injector scale to get them around 0..I think the IFR should be around 4.25..Ussing the S-terms can make you go nut's since they change so fast.
Are you running the stock MA with the screen?

I do need to change back to the original MAF ... I threw a lean code later tonite.
Which way do I need to go with the IFR? Up or down? What about the hard loping. I mean it's a small cam, but it was loping hard.
I have the IFr set at 5.25, which is what the original RADIX tune had them set to.

Hey Flyer, so you've got the IFR around 5.25 from the Radix tune and 80% stock VE below 1200. Idle speed? You might want to try going 60% stock VE at 400 and 800 on the VE table. Check this thread... link

From what I've described ... do you think I could have a vaccum leak? I got to thinking about it, and it may even be an exhast leak at the headers .... hrmmmmmmm
