It's usually not a good idea to just tune for idle. Get scan tool hookedup and read the BLMs to get you into the ballpark figure. It's usually a good idea to tune the fuel pressure so you ARE rich at idle. It's better to be rich at idle than to be lean. If you're lean, you put it into gear and it's more likely to stall or a fast stop etc. Hookup a scan tool and shoot for around 124 BLM at part throttle and normal driving. If you go to WOT it'll go to 128 anyways so don't do that. Besides, adjust the pressure for performance, not for a 450mv idle by the o2 sensor. This is something I learned the hard way but it was a good lesson learned.
