Hey, anyone tell me what to do to make my fuel mixture a little more better? Im running a GM-Maft with 450s. Every dial is set to zero (version 1.3). Im using v2.5 DSMLINK. Please help. I have included a log file. What Im mainly concerned about is getting my idle-2.5k RPMS right for now.

I would check your o2 sensor to make sure its reading correctly. That would cause the car to run rich on the 450's.

I have the same exact issue with my car, the upstream O2 is reading correctly but the downstream O2 is telling my car its running lean so I'm burning rich & dumping way more fuel than I should be.

I tested it and right now I get 210 - 235 miles out of a full tank :(
 
I thought that the front o2 really controlled the fuel mixture. Have you changed out the rear o2 and to see if that made a difference? I don't know what else would be making run rich besides having a bad o2. That has to cost a pretty penny if your only getting 2xx on a take of gas.
 
My friend has a snap on scanner. It reads my down stream o2 is a constant 0.020. Ir never changes. The upstream does fluctuate
 
Changing the O2 sensor tonight then I'll post my engine data afterwards.
