idle surge and at times stall on start up

I just got done installing a SR and #30lb from 24lb inj. I've been using the arap on it with the 24lbers and siam runners and really had it dialed in-good starts idle etc. Now after some tuning I'm still having a hard time with it surging then even stalling at times after start up unless I give it 1/4 to 1/2 throttle. After about 30sec. then it's fine. I've tried IAC park, open loop f/a vs cool, etc. without success-has anyone else had this problem after larger inj. only? Or with a SR? I've already got the blms close to 128, and it does run fine everywhere else. Thanks for any ideas!!!!

Sounds like it's too lean.
Also might look at the cold engine timing adder.

same prob

I have the same problem as you...I went from stock TPI to HSR with 24lb injectors...the only thing I changed in the bin was the flow rate to 26...do you have any suggestions what else I should change? my car doesn't idle when it's cold till it warms up for like 2 minutes...then it fluxuates between like 600 and 900 rpm's.

Injectors do vary in linearity.
Sounds like you need to add fuel in the MAF 1 Table.
