On my way home from Yellowstone as I type. I will make that change and get a new data log asap. Thanks for the tip!

I burned a new chip this morning and tested on the drive to work. Initial feel says that it is much improved, but my drive is barely long enough to get up to operating temp haha! I will do some more driving later to confirm.

chewy- what cylinder heads are on your 383?
They are modified TBI heads. Here is a link to the crate engine specs - http://www.blueprintengines.com/inde...em/gm-383-base

I had some more time at lunch and after work to really test the decel. I could run it up to 3000 rpm in 3rd and it would decelerate smoothly all the way to idle. Even 2nd gear deceleration was smooth. I think we have it taken care of! I'm really happy with how it's running now.

I'm happy it worked out and a bit surprised it was that easy. I've been fiddling with fuel trim parameters on the vortec headed 350 off and on for months and it's still not perfect. I looked at your engine specs and I'll bet that thing does run really good, particularly compared to a stock worn out 350.
It's a night and day difference compared to the old 350 with 2 dead cylinders. It's even better now that the 80# injectors are dialed in. The engine was built to run with a stock 350 TBI setup, just swap and turn the key, but I had a feeling the old 55# injectors were being overloaded. Bigger injectors and a new EP381 fuel pump are enough to feed the beast for now. I didn't think about touching the O2 parameters because I was running a stock replacement sensor so thank you for pointing them out to me!
I will probably leave the engine alone for the rest of the year as I just found a donor truck to source an NV4500 and 4.10 gears to swap with my SM465 and 3.42's. It's going to be a busy summer!

Good to hear you got it running! I thought i had fixed my exhaust leak but its still acting up so i may leave the o2 out since it seems to run much better all around.
The idle and deceleration surge is back! :( I changed out the SB throttle body for a BB unit with adjustable fuel pressure regulator. Small adapter harnesses were used to connect the TPS and IAC to the existing plugs. The live readings in the ECM look correct. Installed the Actron FP adapter inline with the supply line and the gauge reads 18 psi. I used a 7.4L Manual bin for IAC parameters and the idle will get down to the commanded 800 RPM, but it surges. i have attached a video of the madness. Any ideas?

EDIT: Jumpered Pins A and B in the plug to do an IAC reset, and noticed there was a Code 51 present. Changed the Mask ID in the bin to "AA" and burned another chip. The idle is much smoother.
