Another option is to go standalone 11.5+ months out of the year and swap in the stock ECU for smog. It is a hassle, but I know many Cali folks do much more swapping than that just to pass smog.

I have a Hydra 2.5 and switch to the stock ECU for smog checks. In fact, they're both installed under the dash so swapping them is just a matter of opening the passenger airbag hatch (I've got no airbag of course) and just switching the plugs over.

But really, it sounds like your problem is your PE850's. Switch to some Deatchwerks and I bet your idle issues just evaporate. I was running the PE800 top feeds and their latency was like 1.6ms or something horrendous... and while the side-feed PE850's are way better, the DW's are that much better again apparently.
