    98 ls1 SD idle too rich

    I have a 98 firebird ls1. when i put the pcm into open loop and fail the maf so i can tune my VE's it runs extremely rich at idle. around 10.8-11 once i raise the rpm up above 1000 or so it seems ok and my AFR error seems to be ok. the mods to the engine are long tube headers/no cats, air lid, cam 212/218 at 114lsa .560 lift. i have looked and searched and can't find an answer to why this would be happening. any thoughts would be great.
    thanks Roger

    I just started idle tuning a car similar to the one you're working on.

    This guide has helped steer me in a direction, check it out.
