    Pulling at idle

    I am tuning a vehicle with an MS4 cam, Trickflow 215 heads and 4.11 gears w/ built tranny in an LS1 (auto). I have done the VE table, MAF and will be doing the timing adjustments on the dyno tomorrow (aside form pulling the knock which is already done). After the initial tune the vehicle still wants to pull while stopped. I am still working the idle (this thing is a monster) but am quite convinced that the stall needs to be upgraded. The car is running a stock stall converter still. Also the TB had a hole drilled in it previously so I am hoping I can work around that...

    Also looking at the power enrichment settings it is still set to the factory 15kpa, 2000rpm delay. The car at idle is working around 55kpa map. Should I bump the power enrichment settings to improve fuel economy? Am I right on the stall converter? Any suggestions?

    For the idle it was the basics of increasing the startup airflow. I also adjusted the initial airflow settings and lowered the decay rate. The hole in the throttle body did not prove to be as troublesome as I originally thought it may be.

    As far as pulling at idle I am still quite confident it is the stall. TSP recommends a 3600 stall for the street.
