    Might want to enable BE as a safety mechanism. Your PE eqr is a little high for FI as well. I can't tell you exactly what it should be at, but probably at or less than 0.8 lambda (so 1.25 or higher in the eq ratio tables).
    Overall looks ok, VE will need some tuning.
    You should probably log
    -STIT and LTIT
    -wideband eq ratio
    -MAP
    -injector pulse widths
    -every "advance" and "retard" channel
    -TPS and accel pedal position

    Have you started or driven the car yet? If you can, get some good logs in at part throttle only, using STFT+LTFT to dial in the part throttle areas of the VE table.
