    How long do the fuel trims take to settle in? - The first 10 seconds, the car ran like poop. Then idled fine after that. Initially, the trims were all over the place, but I didn't have any driveability issues. It ran fine after the first start up. I've burned through about a half a tank so far, and it look like my trims have settled in where they're going to stay.

    Cold start issues? - Haha! Not really an issue here!

    Ideally, you would tune for the conversion, but this is a cheap hack ("hack" in a good way) way to run the corn. I will tune eventually,

    Do i need to have a tuner to watch it or would a standard scanner be adequate?

    A wideband and "in car" fuel pressure gauge are on my short list also...

    I have a FP gauge on the rail, but I want to be able to see the FP while driving.
