Default Hurricane Irene stalls my car

I have a B18 LS with Crower stage 2 (403) cams. I tuned it myself with Crome. It usually idles a little low, closer to 600 RPMs than 700.

It died on me a couple times this afternoon which is very unusual. I live in NC so we're probably starting to get some of this lower pressure from the hurricane. What should I adjust in Crome to keep from stalling?

Lol...low Hurricane pressure stalls the car.

Raise the IACV duty cycle slider in Crome or turn the idle screw counter clockwise on the throttle body

Haha, thanks. I'm still tinkering with the tune and I've got too much overlap right now. I'll try that and see what happens.

We made it out OK. I live just west of Greenville but they got it pretty hard over there. Still plenty of people without power but ours came on last night. I had two large trees down and a very small tree with multiple trunks that took some damage.

I did have one friend over in Greenville that had some roof damage and some windows blown out. But all in all, everyone I've talked to is OK. The good news is of everyone I've talked to nobody got hurt and my teggy is OK

Irene pretty much didn't really hit the mainland until North Carolina, well north of Florida. SC didn't even really get much. VA got quite a bit of damage, but I don't know how much damage was done north of there. The winds slowed quite a bit after that.
