for idle issues, try raising your idle 50 rpms and add 2 degrees of timing in the 0-1000RPM colum and 0-40 load cells in your timing maps. this should help. i believe that stock that area should be a block of 5's so change it to 7's. (i know the IX's have 5s there not sure about the VIII's)

I ran my Kelfords untuned for about 5 days. The stalling at idle was terrible and my wife was wondering why the car was shaking so bad,lol.

I'm trying to learn how to do my own flash,but in the meantime I got atactrix cable and a e-mail flash. Now it is better, lope on idle does sound good!

Good luck to you.

the only problem you might have w/ the cams being untuned is at idle. other than that, as long as you are not going WOT or beating on the car youll be fine.
