Default Tuning help

Hey guys. I've got mine driving pretty well so far and still breaking it in some. While doing this I'm toying with the tune myself some and need a little guidance. My tuner has been helping me remotely and I have zero complaints. But I have a issue with this thing idling high enough while driving that I cruise at 60mph w/out touching the gas pedal while running down the hwy. It will also pull itself at 45ish while in town. What tables should I be looking at? This is my first time to really dwelve off into tuning. My guy is covered up and I have time this weekend, so I figured I'd attempt to tackle this myself.

Car is a 02 Z06. Stock t-body, 370 ci, YSi.

Does it idle high all of the time or just when the car is moving? Does the idle 'hang' when you depress the clutch while moving? Does the car 'cruise control' itself with the AC on, off, or both? Mine did this with the AC on and I tuned it out by reducing the throttle cracker table values below 2800rpm. Good luck.

Its only idling high when driving. It "cruise controls" itself with the a/c off. Can't tell you about a/c on yet b/c I haven't recharged it since its been together. And yes it hangs while cruising when you press the clutch in.

It will hang for a second when pulling up to a stop sign.

He already texted me this morning. When I get back home to my lap top I'm gonna email him the tune file and also my logs. I'm sure I don't have the stuff he needs to see logged, so I guess I'll be doing some more driving today.

If it 'cruise controls' with AC off, hangs with clutch depressed, and then returns to normal when you stop, it's likely the cracker values in the cruise rpm range. I'm sure Brett and others with significant tuning experience can get you dialed in. If you make small changes one at a time you really can't hurt anything.
