    Default Long Tubes make GTO stumble at low speeds?

    I put long tubes on my 6L GTO. Now it seems to stumble and surge slightly after I push in the clutch approaching a stop sign. Even worse if the air conditioner is on.
    Throttle follower/cracker adjustment? I was thinking of adjusting the VE cells (B0200) to match from 1200rpm and below using the stock 1200rpm settings. Just wondering what you would do? I know it is probably an easy fix.

    I haven't logged anything yet. I will let you know when I get a chance to play with it.

    Play with the Desired Airflow table under the idle section. I had to up mine to cure my swinging idle while moving problem. You might need to lower yours a bit.

    I was looking for that table but not sure which one it is.I don't have a throttle craker or follower in this OS either.....
    I attached the tune if anyone wants to peak at it. At least tell me which table I should be adjusting..

    It "might" be B1829 Minimum Idle Airflow. I only have experience with the LS1 PCM so maybe someone else can verify.

    Also, 1710, 1711, 1712, 1713, 1714 probably should be modified after long-tubes. My car ran rich as hell after putting long tubes on. Lowering the O2 switch point table (as it's called in my PCM) 5-7% brought my AFR from 13.1 back up to 14.7. Obviously, you'll need a wideband to do this. Also, make small changes to those values because they are very sensitive.
