Man that is frustrating. Your MAF reads solid, but your afratioest is all over the place. I wish I knew the exact calculation for it. Can you capture Baro? Heck, capture everything.

Base ignition set properly with a timing gun?

Running out of ideas here.

It looks better as the engine warms up... but

I think the battery voltage is wavy. Should be a solid line.
Has this ECU been inspected and serviced for leaking capacitors?

Is the engine miss-firing as it warms up?

So my battery is completely toast, I have to start it with my jumpack every time and yes I had the ecu checked by ecmtuning about a month ago now and it doesn’t misfire it just kinda runs the same as it does once it’s warmed up, just seems like it wants to bog down and die sometimes before it fully warms up but no misfiring. I also I have no idea on the base ignition to be honest. I haven't messed with anything that could have changed timing since I've gotten it back from Rix Racing.

I think the voltage regulator in your alternator is dying, if not already dead. The battery won't make the voltage wavy, but the voltage regulator on the alternator will. The voltage will affect your injector performance, and the strength of the spark - so get that checked out. (remove it, take it to a shop - rebuild it if necessary). I keep two alternators - one in the car, and one on the shelf. They die all the time - especially if there is a lack of shielding between the alternator and the down pipe.

Regards your 1G Cam Angle Sensor - x2 on the use a timing light and check what it is compared to what it says it is in ECMLink. If ECM Link and the timing light don't match - fix it by adjusting the CAS position. There is a check box in ECM Link under the misc tab that will help - it forces the ECU to always run 5 deg - so you can better adjust the CAS position.
