       Jay, I'm going through the same thing with my Boston Bob Big Valve 
Engine.  Still using the OEM computer but have a EURO Digijet for use later 
on after I get the engine broken in properly.  I have my AFM spring at three 
notches tighter tension now and yes it does affect the idle.  If you loosen 
the tension the idle will get smoother but the mixture richer.  Bob has told 
me that it's better to get the mixture leaned out and have a rough idle for 
now.  I'm using Ken Lewis's OXY sensor monitor to tell where the mixture is.  
Make sure the idle control switches on the throttle body are working.  This 
is very important in getting the idle to stabilise. Right now I've got the 
fuel mixture leaned out so that acceleration if great.  Much, much better 
than the stock set-up 2.1, however the idle is still rough.  Bob says the 
real power is above 4000 rpm but I would not know that since at only 850 km 
on the engine I have not taken it past 4000 rpm yet.  Coming soon !  The 
sound of the engine revving is much freer and significantly better than the 
stock engine that I drove for 380,000 km.        
       BTW, I have one maybe two of the EURO spec Digijet computers for sale 
if anyone's interested.  See my <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/sales.htm">Vanagon Items Forsale</A> webpage.
