what do i do from here on?
My set up is in my sig.
When i drive hard, my wideband tells me that im at 10.. then to 11.. then 12 point something.My truboost is set at 6psi.. sometimes hits 7 and 8.
Granted, i still have a cat... What fmu ratio disc can i use to give my car more power?
AND, when i drive hard and pop out of gear so i can come to a rolling stop, my RPMS drop fast and sometimes my car dies. What could be causing this?
i do have a 7lb fidanza flywheel if that makes any difference.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Also, with a 12:1 disc, you are maxing out your stock fuel pump. Usually that happenes at around 75 PSI. Get a high pressure pump, and like a 6 to 1 disc. That will give you about 90 PSI fuel presure, which would allow about 7-8 psi boost.

if you install a 190HP pump and don't swap out a smaller vortec disc, expect > 10:1.
flywheel causes the sudden rpm drops, you can try to tune it out with your idle screw, however, that's one of reasons I got rid of mine.

12:1 AFR is great, your tip in accel fuel is too rich at 10:1 AFR. Adding a bigger fuel pump isn't going to improve that, you should consider moving to a more precise method of tuning, ie standalone or programmable ecu.

ok.. so i have 3 suggestions.
1) i didnt adjust my afm for my 1.8 injectors
2) my flywheel
3) My blow off valve
how would i adjust my afm for my injectors?
ive noticed dips in my rpm when i was na after i installed the flywheel... but it never killed my car like it does now
and how can my bov cause my car to die?
THANKS!

The bov might be leaking air under heavy vacuum causing the engine to suck in unmetered air. You might be able to tighten/loosen up your IAC valve to make it respond differently when coming to a stop.
You can adjust the clock spring a few clicks to adjust for the 1.8s. Do a search, this procedure is well documented on the forum. Though i don't have a link.

I have the same problem. And today when i was idling i turned my interior lights on and my car started idling at like 150rpms, like it was dieing i had to keep revving it so it didnt die on me. Would that be that my battery is going or my alternator?

I would suspect the IAC if your idle drops when you turn on the lights. It's actually supposed go up a little bit.
On the drivers side of the engine bay near the top of the shock there is a little black box. That is the diag box. Jump the terminals with a bent up paperclip.
