idle tuneing issues

ok my set up consists of a 383 srtoker, d1sc @12 lbs, wide band, ls1edit, etc. i have been tunning car in open loop speed density and part throtle and wot are great. idle on the other hand stays around 500 rpms and is running 11 a/f. i have decreased values in ve table numerous times seeing no change in a/f at all. do i need to go to a different table to tune idle? any info would be appreciated. thanks..

Are you working in the primary or the back-up VE table?

There's a ton of tables for idle, including fueling and tuning.
I know my old version of Edit didn't show any of that and all I could adjust was idle speed. Now I use EFI-live and it shows a ton more of usefull tables.
Maybe you just cannot get to what you need.

Any time you're tuning VE, you need to make changes in the primary VE, then copy those changes over to the secondary or you won't see any difference. The computer runs off of the secondary VE table when the MAF is disconnected.

Yep, I do my work in the secondary VE or backup VE table.
My idle is around the 12in/hg column.

Used The Secondary Table And Fixed Idle. Thanks For The Help. But I Do Have Aquestion Though. How Come When I Made Changes To The Main Ve They Worked For Part Throttle And Not Idle?
