Stock FW is what, 27 lbs? The stock ECU, I should mention that this only really relates to a stock edu'ed car, thinks you still have a 27lb flywheel and is thus tuned to rotate that mass. By removing mass you free up a little torque, so now it's taking less power to move that 9.5lb flywheel and the idle hunts around a bit, becomes irradic etc etc.
With a standalone, it's possible to get a perfectly smooth idle, it just takes time. Idle is the most difficult thing to tune. It's such a delicate balance between fuel, timing and BAC duty.

Well, don't ever tell an engineer that a lightweight FW adds torque because they'll jump down your throat and say you didn't add anything, you free'd it up. THen you can say, alright motherfucker, here's a stock FW dyno, heres the same car after a lighweight FW. It added torque and hp to the dyno sheets didn't it? Then they say, you dumbass, you free'd it up...... and it goes back and forth all depending on how you interprete it.
