maxed positive LTRIMS may indicate a leak as more air is getting in than the computer thinks. If it is primarily lean at idle, your ported TB changed the amount of air entering and that could contribute to it if you have not changed your IAC table.

You have alot of work to do. U increased the air to the engine, now the ECM is adding fuel. Now u have to learn how to tune it. Unplug the maf and change the ve table until the stft + ltft are negitive. THen plug in the Maf and tune that. U will have to read the stickies and make the changes. People will help u if u have trouble but they will not fix it for u.
