This is a heads/cam (238/242 duration) car. I upped idle speed to 825rpm at warm idle areas.... too much less, and the car would set misfire codes and map out of range errors

I cranked the crank airflow to max values to try and get it to start, I upped the Park position minimum idle airflow column to match actual running airflow (15 g/s).

I zerod out the flare control spark table.

I upped cranking timing.

None of this made a difference imho. I still have to go at least 1/4 throttle to get it to start.

Also, there is a long delay before it will idle upto commanded idle speed...

Any suggestions?
