That is exactly where mine idles with 4x850's and a street port... banzai racing says it should be able to get 850rpm with afr's of 13:1... I haven't tried yet but is a good goal eventually.

It can't all be done from the laptop, you have to get into the engine bay and set up the TB properly.

If you want a low idle you wont get a nice idle at lean mixtures on a rotary. Theres a reason they have an airpump standard

Put the primary 550s back in if you don't want a rich idle, that's what I ended up doing after having the 850s in there, the 850s dump too much fuel in during idle and can't be leaned out easily. the 1600s secondarys provide plenty of fuel.

Hey Tom, what peak duty cycles are you seeing with the 550 + 1600 's I am thinking about going somewhere along that route with may car soon also...

I push the turbos up to 23 lbs of peak boost sometimes (only in cold temps) and the duty cycles are in the 80s or 70s with little less boost, I don't even have to pay attention to them, its all good.
