I disable the Timing control also , Bring idle timing down to about 10-15*. Open throttle blade so IAC is Barely open ( 5-10ish Counts )
Make sure you do a TPS reset ! Holley wont kick in the idle till the TPS says 0 .
Then in the Timing Table , say if you idle at 900 rpm, in the break points below say 750-800 rpm , Ramp up the timing to 30ish.
That way when you pop it in gear and the rpm drops , the lower rpm timing kicks it back up to your Target Idle Cells ,
Tuning your optimum AFR at Idle is a bit of a guess , that low of exhaust flow will actually give you a false reading.
I just try to find what it likes by idling around the water in gear and moving the fuel table up and down in the idle cells .
Till I get it good and clean .
Also make sure you dont have any fuel adders messing with your tables at Idle.

good advice. Going from a 4 blade to a MAX5 34P creates a bunch of shock. I can realistically keep my idle at 950.......what numbers do you use in your park settings?

I have the Parked at about 90% till it hits 60*F then ramps down to 65% @ 100*F .
Hold Position is about 30% . You can play with your settings , this was on a 572 with a Whipple.
The Throttle body injection is a bigger ***** to get to idle good.

Do you suffer from prop shock? what prop etc are you using and what boat.

Damn, I won`t let my 8:5:1 engine see anything past 9psi.Seen way too many blow up past 11psi/low compression
Let us know how long that engine lasts.

So you disabled the thing that makes the idle stable and that worked.. interesting.
