I swapped my stock with a lt1 starter as well, it took a lot of shimming to get i correct. Did you get new bolts with the starter? The correct bolts are VERY important to get it lined up correctly.

Re: Zero Cross Counts at idle

No, it stays in "closed" loop. That is why I don't understand why BLM and INT are perfect at 128 and I am getting a "ready", "lean" and 0 "cross counts" with O2 voltages at 360 to 440 mvolts.
