Default car surges???

I have a 93 lt1 with a 306 comp cam, ported heads & intake, 58MM Holley throttle body, fuel pump, injectors, etc, etc, my problem is the car surges when driving down the road, it also idles a little high, however I can tap the trottle and it will idle down. I thought I had heard something about the Holley tb surging a while back, did a search and found nothing. Just wondering if you guys had any ideas. Thanks!

I would have to agree it sounds like a tune issue.....needs to be redone or refined.

With a good tune, it should not surge.......Steve from LSxTune.com might be able to help

The surging is normal after a cam install all u can do is some fine tuning but don't expect it to go entirely away.

After my cam and d-1 install I had a surge also. It seemed to come on when I would drive into my garage in reverse. It's been about two years now and the surge has gone away. It was frustrating to say the least.
