mild cam idle surge and basic settings - tune and log attached
Please help me with a few pointers and observations
restored from death 2012 Chevy Caprice PPV
105k miles
muffler delete and intake cone in stock housing
this will be my daily driver starting NOW... lol
I have followed many threads and created an alternative tune that starts and idles well but surges violently in gear. So I'm not posting that tune at this time unless requested
Here is the current tune and idling around the block for the first time :

UPDATE 7.14 Wednesday new tune and log
I am still at it. The story on this car, in a nutshell, I have been building my '01 Z28 for 1.5 years and invested $10k but 2 months after getting it running HARDDD my good friend totaled it into a tree on a test drive at 70 mph, and we both got hurt. Insurance gave me all of $7600... which I promptly spent on - no offense - the world's most broken '12 Caprice PPV 9C1 L77 / 6L80E and I am using it as a daily driver... don't ask lol.
Today's update is that after massive blind and stupid tuning revisions I still have no brakes (unrelated) and now the transmission slips badly because I foolishly reset the TAPS.
I suppose it could take a few weeks of normal driving to relearn hopefully. The exhaust is still clogged and I will be installing a VCM OTR and a clip-on wideband today. The car needs another trans and engine flush also, the 2.92 diff is finally clean.
Wish me the best you guys, I really love my sweet Holden Commodore VE (ish) a LOTTT but ***literally*** everything is broken on the car and I'm already broke having invested $3000k in emergency repairs in the last month since I've had it. FLM lol
On the factory tune it started idled and drove like ass although a) that is to be expected b) it is smooth in a way and trustworthy on the stock settings sort of.
Then I moved on to an HSV starter file that was so kindly provided to me. That got the car starting and idling wonderfully but the throttle response is an asshat and the transmission is on drugs. Since then I've gotten some more help that furthers significantly improved it and that is where we are. Introducing full-time E85, currently at 45% alcohol. I have wheel speed sensor and tire monitor codes that I'm saving up for so I HOPE that fixes the brake pedal feel. Thanks for everything guys

VCM OTR installed - this morning LOG drive to work
trans is slipping and flaring on part throttle shifts I'm pretty sure it's the bad tune in addition to resetting the TAPS. Hoping for mechanical soundness, fluid smells good and is at a correct level. Fluid temps are low and have no related codes.
