I am still having problems with Controller "B".  When I switch from A to B, the engine seems to want to stall, since the engine will not restart for a few hours (so far) after a run I flip back to A before this happens.  At higher RPM I can make the switch between controllers and it does not stall, but runs significantly rougher.  Could this just be due to the Auto Program refinements not yet being transferred to "B"?
 
Possibly.  Copy A to B (see instructions, the Mode to use for this has changed in the past 6 months or so).
 
  One of the test I performed was to disable the primaries and secondary's in succession.  When I disable the secondary's I did not notice any change in the way the engine sounded, but when I disable the primaries the engine would start to shut down...so I quickly flipped the switch back up to the on position to avoid the shut down.  I did this a few more times over the next couple of minutes with the same results.

Most common reason for this is not properly wiring the injector disable switches.  Cold Start line MUST be grounded by the one side of the disable switches when either set is disabled.  If not, it will do exactly as you described.  To test for this condition, go to high throttle and disable the primaries.  If engine dies, this is likely the problem. See installation guide for details and check wiring.
