Default funny idle with 450's, some help please

I just installed my DSM 450's on my D15b7, I programed my chip with crome and it idles a little funny, It idled fine when I burnt the stock map on and ran it with the stock setup. Now with the 450's (inline resistors if it makes any difference) at idle the rpm "Bob's" up and down, but real fast and only maybe 50 rpm's of a difference, like from 800 to 850, just back and forth real fast. I didnt smooth the map before I put it in the car because i dont know what it does. I'm just going to keep messing with the idle and when I put in 42 for fuel pressure it seemed to help a wee bit. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know, my dad is on my back like a fat kid on a twinkie especially because I got a speeding ticket for 53 over last night. thank you

Oh yeah, one of the pintle caps is cracked on one of the injectors, would this make a difference, or would it make a difference what # runner i put it in?

also the turbo is not yet installed, I just wanted to get it running right with the injectors first, so would it matter if the map has boost values on it or not?

there is no clicky box for closed loop, i'm using chrome (free version), the open loop is not disabled if that helps.

will an AFR guage work with the narrowband thats in it now, I dont have a wideband yet

No wideband, no point in trying.

there are options to disable and enable closed loop in the free version. see "disable oxygen sensor"

like JD said, no WBo2, no point.

While you guys are talking about O2 sensors, what are the options in Crome for O2 sensing (or not sensing)?

I've run Uberdata with a WB for the past year and am switching to Crome. I'm not sure I want to continue to use the WB (display only, but running the WB wire to the ECU still), but I'm really not interested in using the stock narrowband either. Can I just run closed loop and lose all the sensors? The car is pretty much a weekend racer anyway, so the only time I really care about getting good mileage is driving to the track.

I would keep the WB sensor in like always, but my old one just went bad, so I'd rather just use it for tuning and nothing else.

I run my beater in open loop with Crome. Works fine.

Ran my 14b ZC with o2 disabled all season last year with zero problem and it actually ran better.

well thats because you guys are good at tuning.

just tune dude. if you run your *** in closed loop you're bound to see boost one day on accident and well, you know what can happen.

its not that difficult to tune part throttle.
