Any harm in leaning out open loop warm up idle?
So at startup before the car goes into closed loop the stock tune has the car run rich, presumably to get it to warm up quicker. Well it wreaks of unbrunt fuel during this time(heads/ cam car, but the cam has no overlap), I already have high flow cats and they helped some but not so much during this warm up time as they are probably not hot enough burn off the rest of the fuel yet. So is there any harm in adjusting the open loop>EQ ratio table for the idle cells? The stock tune has the cells all well above 1 (Stoich) and I would like to try and just set them all to 1 and see if there is a big enough difference. I was wondering if there would be an underlying problem with this that Im not thinking of, thanks.

Nope. Knock yourself out. It's fine

The worst thing of leaning the warmup is starving for fuel. If so add some back in.
