does the truck idle high then come down to a lower idle? we call this a 2 stage idle in the nitro world if so then your LS is actually rich yet and the idle gap is to big I know makes no sense at all.

I agree, but for some reason on my B5 if my idle/LS/HS combo is at traditional settings i get a crazy almost out of control lean rev but this only happens when the tank hits about 3/4 empty, I know that there can be many other things that cause this but I have definately narrowed it down to the motor. high alltitude here in CO may be a factor but I am not sure, only way I found to fix this is to run some first timer settings, running a rich bottom and a tad leaner top, I know this sounds crazy but thats what works to keep it consistant threw the whole tank. I am sure that i will get some slack about my post but i know 5 of my good buddies here that are running B5's that will agree. Im am not doggn on the motor because these things rip im just sayn thats how it is
