Boost vs A/F
Looking at my chart it seems like at the tail end high boost high rpm, it is going very lean but I am not sure if this is indicative of the chart. This maybe the backing off or delay on the chart when letting off the gas.
It always comes back to shark tuning or the lack of! Now when someone is ready to loan rent or otherwise provide one my option is Mega Squirt-3.
Any chart readers care to chime in?

I don't think that data is sampled at a high enough rate to really be useful. Looks like you went into decel fuel cut. If you are really worried about it, try and make the tip-out cal less agressive on initially pulling fuel.

But I agree with John. The "tell" is the injector duty cycle is dropping as well as the values from your accelerometer. This tells me you lifted.

That's what I thought, looking at the data log it was right at the apex and yes seemed to be dropping. It was scary looking at the spike going lean so I would like some peace of mind on this.

I now see what is worrying to you... The RPMs continue to climb while AFR drops. Inertia will carry the RPMs up a bit, so don't use that as the measure for when you lifted.
If you want to be certain, you can log the throttle position switch to see when you lifted - but even that may have a slight delay as you have to go from WOT to Cruise to Idle.

+1, that is probably you lifting off... it would put it to rest if you logged your throttle position switch. When I log WOT runs, I always delete the rows where the TPS is not 3.

There is no problem with that log that I can see. Your concern is when you lifted it went lean.... that's what it does. If you were still into the throttle the car would not be happy at all and you wouldn't have to data log it because you would hear and feel it.
What exactly is it that you are having a problem with? You had some high idle issues we discussed, any change in that with removing the teflon tape from the temp-2 sensor threads?
One of the guys here had a comment on your log file.

One of the guys here had a comment on your log file.
Here is what he said:
There are only two things that will cause a high idle. Those are too much air, and more than stock ignition timing. Too much air would be from a vacuum leak, improperly operating idle stabilizer, or a throttle that's not closing all the way. If he had teflon tape on the
temp-2 sensor, it can cause the body of the sensor to not be grounded sufficiently. That would cause higher resistance than there should be, which is interpreted as colder than actual engine temperature by the ECU. I don't know what's in the ignition map that he's got, but typically more timing advance is used for a cold engine, and then it tapers down to the normal amount of timing for a warm engine. If his ECU thinks that the engine is still cold, it'll keep the timing at the more advanced amount that's usually used for a cold engine. That amount of timing on a warm engine will increase the idle speed. Has he ever checked the ignition timing with a timing light on the warm idling engine?
Besides not going into closed loop operation, it looks pretty normal for the most part.

Took it for a drive and during heavy not Wot acceleration I can hear a back fire, maybe a little too rich?
Also I have the surging back when in let's say 3rd gear a heavy acceleration causes a shudder.
Tim suggested this has anyone tried it and if so any feed back?

Took it for a drive and during heavy not Wot acceleration I can hear a back fire, maybe a little too rich?
Also I have the surging back when in let's say 3rd gear a heavy acceleration causes a shudder.
Tim suggested this has anyone tried it and if so any feed back?

Is your fuel pressure back to stock now? If not, set it back to stock and leave it there.
You say the surging is back.... did you change something from when there was no surging or did it just show up out of the blue?
Do you still have a high idle after warm up?
Did you take the teflon tape off the temp-2 sensor threads?
My suggestion for the air straightener was for something completely different.
The air straightener idea was for steady state light acceleration surging which I thought you were having issues with but after talking to you that is not the case. The theory, for those following along, is that there is a jet stream created with the Stage 1 plumbing configuration by having 2 bends right after one another. The air straightener (which would act like an intercooler on a Stage 3 car) will stop the swirling air after the first bend. There is a lot more as to why and where it should exactly be placed, based on testing, but that is irrevelent in this discussion.
A "shudder" under hard acceleration sounds more like an ignition problem or perhaps an injector intermittient problem under load. At what rpm are you experiencing this?
Also, a backfire under load suggests that fuel was still getting put in the combusion chamber and the spark went away for a bit. Just like when you drove your dad's Olds to the school dance and you would drive past the school with your foot to the floor and turn the ignition off and then back on again creating a big backfire. Common, you know you did it

FP is still 41 not 39.
It was surging once I reinstalled it back in the original location.
Idle is high after warm up 900-950.
Tape is off.
Shudder is consistent it does it while in 3rd 2,200 of so hit the gas not Wot boom.
And yes I like the noise and would love to throw a flame .
Seems like it glitches lean on a couple of spots.
