motor and trans back in...motor acting up..at idle and stops

i just recently pulled the motor for some upgrades...put it back in with the trans..plugged everything up changed my cams from crower 272/264 combo to
gsc 280s...the car has 1000 cc injectors..flashed in already...
ive checked pretty much everything...it all seems normal...
the car is idleing pretty bad..with low afrs..10.1 even lower...
its driveable but dies once you get off the gas...also it runs like crap until after 2300 rpms then cleans up and runs decent..
timing seems straight..no seroius boost leaks...
any suggestions???

Did you tune it on the dyno or was it a road tune? I remember my friend's IX with 272 cossies were dyno tuned and he drove it for 5 miles then went back to the shop and the idle was jumping up and down. Not sure about the AFR's but once it was retuned it was idling much better. I think the tuner (Sean Ivey) messed around with the timing at idle to lean it out.

Hope this helps you.

problem solved...i had a shorter inlet...for the turbo...so the maf was closer to the turbo then it was before...the turbo was sucking in the maf and making it read all wrong at idle.....put a longer inlet pipe on and problem solved...thanks to alex from dogboxracing!!
