don't have the s-fmu
running 4 lbs at the moment

Getting out of 1st gear is a challenge and a pain in the ass. I think the problem could be as simple as too much fuel getting dumped in. What can aid for this problem? Any help is appreciated.

Also: Car likes to die if i stop at a light with the front end of the car higher than the rear. It doesnt die with the reverse conditions. Pretty weird.

What compression/injector size/fuel pressure@idle ?

8.8 compression
stock injectors
fmu that came with the star kit(think its fixed at 12:1 or somethin like that)

I'd recommend getting an adjustable FPR and/or an S-AFC. You might be able to tune the fuel system a little better. The problem as you've described seems to be a "rich" fuel system at idle; on the contrary, it could be that the fuel pressure at idle is too low.

....or, with the lowered compression, you are making very little power under 2000RPM. I'm not really sure exactly what you can do to solve it... either add more fuel (maybe..) or less (lean makes more power)

If you have an SAFC, try to lean it back a bit more under 2000RPM (that's not a magic number, just where I start to spool)

It can't hurt.. with built internals, you've got a lot more leeway with your tuning into what would be dangerous on stock pistons. Give it a try and let us know how it goes!

Thanks - I think i will go ahead and install my S-afc and give it a shot. I'll richen the mixture 1st, then go from there. What do you guys think?

I think you should check your O2 voltages and see just how rich or lean you're running. Then you'll know whether you need to richen it up, or lean it out.

hrmmm

I wold start by turning up the boost ;) Seriously, 4psi on built internals is nothing. I would start tuning at 10psi once it is broken in. and stay there even with the AFC until you get bigger injectors. Internals does not always equal bulletproof.
