Default Help with my tune

To make a long story short, my professional tune wasn't, so I am attempting to do it myself. I am getting closer, I think, but I would like some direction. I have been trying to lock in my wot maf table since I was down at 9.0 afr and have gotten it closer to my target afr but now i have developed a KR issue at wot and also at part throttle. I would be interested in someone reviewing what I have and point me in the right direction to get rid of the KR and anything else that may need to be corrected. I am learning but this is my first tune. Thanks

Its been forever since ive touched my EFILive and cant remember much... I had help from DRKPHX (a friend) on here setting up the log tables, we still had some small issues with it. So, I dumped the MAF, went out and datalogged a few times, adjusted the VE tables to my AF and it was night and day how the car performed.

Curious to know, where did you get it "tuned" at?

dont know how it compares to efi live. its seems ok to use but the guys on their forum aren't always the friendliest to talk with. seems like the most common answer is "read, read,and read some more"

Feel free to PM me. The MAF and VE table need work, and WOT AFR is too lean (13.40) at different points when in WOT. The KR can be also tuned out. All can be fixed. Looks like a stock converter with stock shift points. I would raise the shift points as well.
