Anybody have any idea what it is?

Running the Carb Legal Tune for about 550miles.

The Racers Line's suggestion sounds like a good first diagnosis. Our tech department has been made aware of the situation. Please feel free to call in and ask for tech help if any assistance is needed.

Checked all connections and they seemed to be good.

I know the motor isnt blown and the charger isn't seized because it started up again and I drove it home. I haven't had a problem since this morning.

If it happens again I'll call Edelbrock.

The motor is blown and you drove home on it, and that's not a problem? i'm missing something here....

People have done weirder stuff before - always good to double-check.

You'll notice that your LTFT is only way off when your injection mode is port only. Either give it time or reset the ECU to force a faster relearn.

Driven another 100 miles and I'm seeing the same behavior when off the gas. Long term fuel trim is around +23 and ATF spikes at +20.

Guess I'll have to find a sunny day soon to take it apart again.

I read it as "the motor is being blown" as in the SC is blowing air and is still working/not seized up. Semantics...

I'm having a similar issue with the P0171 code popping up. I'm gonna check the MAP sensor tomorrow to see if it needs to be cleaned as well as the o-ring seal on the MAP sensor. I've checked everywhere else and can't find any vacuum leaks anywhere.

It's normalizing; your fuel trim is only out of whack when you're completely off-throttle, and if you're off-throttle, it doesn't have a chance to re-learn and correct.

Get me another fresh log of a longer drive, and e-mail it to me, so I can put it in different software.

Have been on toyota 0W-20 for 6k mi (2 oil changes) with 70% city-20% canyon-10% freeway driving and one track day. Oil analysis for both oil changes have been good, only issue found was a little bit of fuel in the oil, which prompted the catch can.

I'm now using Amsoil SS 5w30 after researching other FI threads and the need for thicker oil. It's my summer car so no winter issues for me to worry about.
