RE: engine / pipe question
It could be that the LSN is still not dialled in just right.
When you got it to accelerate, did it spin up real quick (lean LSN) or was it a bit sluggish (rich LSN) to get there try going richer and see if that helps your idle. If it doesn't then go leaner. 1/8 turn at a time.
Also when it revved was there still smoke visible at high rpm? If not go a bit richer.
Good luck.
