    Good to see you worked yourself through this....Picked up on this thread just now....enjoy your BS3 :) I had similar issues when initially setting up my BS3 on my ecotec. One thing I relaized for my motor as Im sure others will see is once cammed etc proper idle afr goes out the window...unless you want to have the nasty lopey idle...(which is definitely cool) but more often than not cammed engines like to be fatter with some more idle timing to be smooth....which can def result in a higher idle...but can def keep it under 1,000 rpm. my 132 ci motor has a 450 lift cam (which i know sounds small to you guys... but is large for a little 4cyl) but when i started base tuning it had a rough idle... but now idles like a 1994 caddy brougham ;) anyways, congrats
