Default off idle flat spot

Just off idle engine has a flat spot I have a fast classic system 70-s-.85 turbo and 83 lb injectors both were purchased from you. I raised the fuel pressure and it helped some. This is the first time using a fast system so I could be over looking something very simple. Some more info on engine ported heads and intake by champion, comp roller Hyd. cant recall specs on cam, and 70mm Acufab TB any info would be helpful.

When using a FAST, we set the fuel pressure in the beginning, then all adjustments and done through the VE table for fueling. I like 43-45lbs with engine idling and vacumn off the regulater. You will either need to add a little fuel in the VE table where your little blue bubble travels through on the VE table or raise or lower the AE vs TPS in the fuel tables. Usually moving the line up or down will affect your fueling off idle.

Your TPS should be set around 2% at idle and 98%at WOT

Ok, pull the plugs and take a look. Make sure they are clean and not fouled up. If so, change them and we'll start again. Also, make ashort recording of the event and I'll take a look at it and also send me your GCT file.
