Default Problem with idleing with edge

I have done the gotts mod, a cherry bomb glass pack muffler, and removed the catalytic converters. I run 91-93 octane and the truck runs great on lvl 3. When i go to make a custom tune i leave everything normal except put the timing at 1.50, shift pressure to 20% for all, and wot to 1.3 (was at 1.2 before changing). It will often die when i come to a stop sign. Any help? what have i dont wrong? the manuel says to set the timing to 1.50 when using 93 octane. Thanks

you can do the shift pressure with the edge!! but if you still have the ideling problem try to run on level 2 i was told that was the reccomended lvl to be on with a cai and exhaust and you can still do custom tunes on level 2!!

ya i had a problem with mine, i turned the idling too low that it wouldnt even idle, it would start and die. then i bumped it up and it idled about...300-400rpms (which you could almost could the firings of each cylinder and it ran soo rich too. just bump it up and mess with it.

lol i really screwed up now...i was changing the tune on my truck. It finished and said done. It went to the menu where it says power programming, diagnostics, performance tests, and setup. It froze there so i left it for about 10 minutes. Came back to find it still froze so i unplugged it and turned the key off then back on. Pluged it in and it gave me the error code 150. The odometer says -------- and it wont start. The edge says to call them so i will do that in the morning but i bet i am going to have to send it in. I am going to be stuck without my truck for a while probably.
