First startup and drive. Does my data log look right?

Finally after 2 years, my build is done. Started her up and drove it 1.4 miles, everything was fine except for some slight smoking (which is due to the new bore and pistons im sure ) but it also liked to try and die between gears.

All vacuum lines are plugged in. And the major changes were:

New pistons, rods, bearings, lifters, gaskets, arp everything, EGR delete, nitrous install (obviously not active yet, but it is installed into the charge pipe) vacuum block install, new 8.5mm plug wires, high flow cat DELETE (replaced with electronic dumps) new timing belt, tensioner, and all new pumps (except fuel) and new clutch.

I am not getting any codes, and my data log appeared ok, but i'm not very educated with tuning.

I'm including 3 datalogs. One is the entire drive about a minute long, including starting, stopping, shifting and a small pull in first.

The others are a clipped section of the pull, and what i think was me shifting.

Can record others upon request.

Read up on the ecmlink idle tuning and injector dial in videos on their site. I'm no expert, but I'm seeing your airflow g/rev is quite off and your CombinedFT bounces +/- 10% around 0. Also, not seeing a wideband logged; it'd be a good idea, especially when you start doing WOT tuning.

*edit*
I see there's a lot of adjustment to the fuel and maf compensation already, but it still seems off. Your profile states it's tuned by English Racing, is that accurate? If so, I would think the results in the log would fly in the face of what we're told to do.

2.0L manual?
 
This is the English tune, but I've removed the cat and EGR. My wide and should be logging so I'll look into that.

What parameters would be most helpful? Or should I just kick em all on?

2.0 manual.

Side question, can I hit the freeway during break in? I'd like to trip out to my dad's house 22 miles away. I searched it and MAAAAAAN that's a hot topic.

Worked on the car then went for a 7 mile city drive. The longer I drove, the higher my idle got. By the time I got home it was idling at 3k. It did this before I built it as well, but went away on its own.... Grrrrrrr.

I added more captured values, so this log should look better. It didn't die between gears, but it's probably because of the stupid high revs.
