Thunderace EFI - Day 5 using MSExtra 3.0.3u

Just another update, but it is slow going at the moment, because work and other stuff is coming first.
Another little session, but this time with the Innovate LC-1 hooked up. No real surprises, although after tweaking the kPa bins, I need to tweak the Alpha N side some more.
I also need to correct the .ini to allow VELive to tweak VETable2. The engine is capable of idling at very low speeds at around 750-850, when 1100 is the norm, and as I am running semi sequential, I have been playing with the timing windows for the injection points. I was surprised to discover the idle was well rich, but although I have calibrated the Innovate LC-1, I think I will have to look at this some more.
Latest video link, just a short clip showing a hot start, ASE working, and WUE still enabled. I am going to do some more work on the colder starts, as it takes a few ignition key on/off cycles to get a stable cold idle...it fires, but doesn't maintain until after third attempt. I realise it's trying to tell me something, but I have not read up enough on this. I suspect the WUE or ASE is not good enough (too little fuel) at the starting temperatures, and it's also because of the wax capsule that opens the throttle slightly when cold.
