Strange idle problem with GTM SC Stage 1

Just a short update

Sam gave me a shout on the phone and I do not think this is a big deal. I am going to check some things and will update here.

Three things to check for this minor issue.

Spark Plugs
I cannot remember 100% what the shop said about my plugs during the install. I know they pulled them to verify the heat range and I used the original plugs. After talking with Sam, I doubt they changed the gap, but I am going to pull them to make sure. I may also go one step colder with new plugs.

ECU Correction
The ECU maybe be overreaching. I am going to get some readings and data logs and see the correction factor during various driving conditions.

Idle Learning
This is the 3rd step after checking the 2 above.

For those of you on the fence about the GTM kit, I suggest you take the plunge. I have been more than happy with the results. It is hard to wipe that S_ _T eating grin off my face lately. I was more or less curious why the car idled funny and this is not a serious problem. It is my DD and I notice things.
