Default Surging after cam install

I installed a TR230 on my 2002 Z28 and sent the PCM out for tuning, I am happy with everything but one small issue.

On a cold start the car it idles just fine.

If I drive the car to operating temp and shut it off for a few minutes, to get gas or run into a store or something, when I get back in the car and start it, it hunts for idle for about 30 seconds.

I have heard of drilling the hole in the TB plate to a slightly larger diameter, would this solve this issue?

Why cant the PCM just be calibrated to give me a few more clicks on the IAC under hot start condition?

Do not drill the throttle body - the holes will be there without regard to temperature. The problem lies in your tune - it is not perfected yet.

(I have had that same symptom after a cam install & tune and ultimately my tuner was able to fix it.)

Mine did the same thing. Darkman is correct in saying that it is definitely in your tune...My tuner was able to get that out for me as well.

Your base idle airflow table is based off coolant temp, getting it dialed in will go a long way in getting your idle dialed in. Also see what kind of timing your running at idle.
