OK I tuned it in a little more here is what turbolink is reading as of now.
RPM MAF O2 BLM IAC
875 5 234 127 58
875 5 473 127 58
850 5 508 127 58
850 5 188 127 58
850 5 504 127 58
850 5 219 127 58
850 5 418 127 58
850 5 375 127 58
875 5 203 127 58

I tried to get the BLM's at128 but I just couldn't 127 was the closest I got. How is this for just at idle?
 
IAC's are high...shouldnt be above 50 but they are consistent and that is a plus...just remove the IAC and adjust the needle....i think the goal is 10-50 off the top of my head...your idle is high too...should be around 750....what chip are you running?
 
Are you tuning for idle?

Your IAC counts are not far off and are probably right on if you get that high rpm down. My rpms are usually around ~700, Ive seen them at 650 before. Adjust your IAC using the instructions on gnttype.org, http://gnttype.org/techarea/faq/IACresetscan.html . You may have to do it a couple of times. I think there are other instructions floating around too, but they are all similar. The procedure will involve the Min. Air adjustment screw on the TB, and will get your rpms down (it will also involve resetting your TPS). Other than for cleaning purposes, I have rarely had to pull out the IAC motor. I would not advise adjusting it this way until trying the other procedure. I am willing to bet your problem, which isnt much of a problem, is due to your idle rpm. When lowered, your IAC #s will be in the 10-50 range.

You are wasting your time trying to get your BLMs right on 128 at idle. ~123- 130ish is just fine at idle. Change of weather will alter these readings at idle. WOT is where your concern should be. Depending on who did your chip, your BLMs and INTs may peg 128 at WOT anyway, which is why you tune for KR and O2s (at WOT). How are you adjusting for BLMs anyway? You must be changing the FP, right? Well, your either going to be pig rich, or leaning out and knocking at WOT (where it counts).

Your MAF and O2s (at idle) are fine.........which really dont mean much. Did I mention, dont tune for idle. This actually isnt really tuning, your just getting things set within range. Nothing is too exact at idle, just within range is what you should worry about. Like I said, even change of weather can alter these #s (if your BLMs move at idle, and they will, does that mean your going to start adjusting again?). Where things need to be exact is at WOT, that is where tuning comes in. Did I mention, tune for WOT.

Here is a helpful link. Print it out/write it down: http://gnttype.org/maint/quickref.html . Notice that all the idle values are within a range. The WOT values are the ones your trying to get right on.
 
Forgot to mention.

Let me add one thing. I shouldnt have just said simply tune for WOT. Let me reinerate by saying tune for WOT in high gear (3rd gear is what would be high gear in a 1/4 mile). If your KR and O2s are okay in high gear, then your doin good. That is where you'll get hurt (high gear), dont worry about lower gears as much, and definately not idle.
