I've bought them both ways; none of the local stores had them, but ra.

I heard someone wbw at the old place, that the most heat was at full assist, but I don't see how that's true.

I’m a noob when it comes to tuning, so don’t roast me here.

After my tune was modified for the manual trans, I feel like my cams ain’t cammin’ no more, is it possible that would be affected by that? I also noticed, when my cooling fan comes on the car almost wants to stall out.

Yes it’s possible, ignition timing, AFR, and idle speed can be tweaked to accentuate or tame lopey cams to some degree.

Thanks for the insight. I talked to my tuner, I’m going to send the chip back to him and he’s going to make some adjustments.

When you run into that kind of stuff, you want to do a datalog of what it's actually doing; I often find it's doing some different stuff than I intended.
Do a datalog, and send it to the tuner, and ask,"is this what you wanted it to do?" That is the way I do it, and Don usually wants datalogs to fine tune.
Log timing,fuel,ect,iat,and the open/closed loop flag. Take it for a long drive. You'll start out in open loop, then it will switch. I've had tunes work better in one or the other, but goes to shit when it changes.

Pretty much mine, it will not idle for shit the second it switches to closed loop
