Imagine driving this thing, having it stall at stoplights, everyone laughing at you as you restart it..

Tuning... Needs some tuning. My setup's so radical its not a standard tune that has been burnt before.. It's going to be a long process getting it close until i can afford live tuning..

Is it something that you can do with Jody with the new F6 via email?

And then blow thier doors off as you cover them in coal dust.

I agree, you need to, again, start saving some funds for a personal visit with Jody.
That should get your idle issues cleared up.
It sounds like a killer 10k mod. The ECU is struggling to maintain a steady idle with those huge injectors.

Too many fancy parts for me to start guessing, but thinking back to the old days, if you had too big a lope at idle you could turn the rpm's up to smooth it out at a light. Can you wire in a high idle switch to see if that helps?

Nope that's not it. All across the board no matter what TPS% or RPM, there is just too much injector pulsewidth, and that causes it to run like that.

Agree 100%.
Who are you going to see about re-tuning it?
