Rich Idle (cross post)

Got the new engine in the orange Scorpion fired up (2 liter, fuel injected) but it's running really rich at idle. What are the most likely suspects? Cams are dialed in with split overlap, plugs are Magnetti CW7LP, pretty sure the injectors were blueprinted.
 
Well...

At idle, the throttle position switch tells the ECU to ignore O2 sensor input, so the mixture is determined roughly by the CO% adjustment screw on the AFM, and the Temp Sensor II in the coolant mixture. Test the sensor, and know that a bad ground or two at the cam tower will cause a richer mixture.
