Idle overspeed and "lumpy" idle I was trying to "richen" my idle up as while I had it smooth, it was now a bit on the lean side. Smell on cold start went from rich "fuel smell" to lean let's burn other stuff too kind of stink as it warmed up.
On restoring my tweaked Idle Overspeed adjustments to stock, I noticed idle "fixed" itself to richen up a bit and it messed with the idle just enough to give it more lope on the idle. So just a note to anyone wanting to smooth out some lope in their cam, telling the computer to ignore the little variations in idle (I just shifted the cells over by 1 gives it a smoother idle and keeps it more pegged in 1 cell rather than bouncing b/w 2 cells.
This also has a bit of an affect on slowing down too giving me a bit of a hanging idle (1200 -1300 rpm) as I slow down and crawl a bit. It'll settle down once 100% stopped, but I'm liking the sleeper smooth idle which shocked a few blower stangs the other night on the way home from a cruise night.
Just wanted to share some insight
