Default Low end flat spot

I've got a pretty bad flat spot at the low end. The car idles at about 900 and drives well once your up in the rpm's a little bit. Any thoughts?

Is this a tip in problem, or after that? If in the lower end is acceleration enrichment coming in, or Power enrichment not coming in early enough? TPS flat spot maybe?

Turbo tweak chip with 79 lbs injectors 3 1/2 inch MAF car runs super after initial start. If you leave with a heavy foot its fine, but, if your just "driving" it falls on its face then takes off at about 2000 rpm's.
