Default help with my idle issues

i have had this problem for a while now. it never really bothered til yesterday i got fed up with it. i have the bolt ons in my sig and it really use to happen when i had a 85 slp maf unit. what my car is doing is idling too high after it is fully warmed. when it is cold it idles nicely at about 850rpm where you can hear the cam chop and lope nice. however, i drive it around for a little until the temp gets to about 200f and say for instance i step on it hard and come to a stop light then all of a sudden the car is idling at like 1100rpm?? it used to happen alot when i had the 85maf unit from slp, but i now put the stock back on without the screen and i ported the tb long long time ago myself. could it be attributed to either one of these? is there an adjustment on the tb?? why is it only happening after it is fully warmed and i step on it? i was thinking it could be the fact that i am still untuned, but i doubt it. i wonder if it was me messing something up on the tb. anyone with a simliar problem please leave your input..

Was your car ever tuned with the MAF? Or at all?

When did you do the LS6 intake? Have you checked for vacuum leaks? If you just let it idle until it reaches temperature does the idle climb up?

if i start the car and let it warm up on its own then it idles fine fully warmed up. however, if i drive it and say i punch it and then come to a stop and lets say i do this twice then once i come to a full stop the car now idles at 1100rpm. or 1000rpm. i have not had it tuned and i am still on my stock maf. car hasnt ever ever been touched computer wise.

That same high idle thing used to happen with my first cam on an old tune. Tuning has since solved the problem.

Make sure there are no air leaks behind the TB.
