Default Do I have to live with this?

Even after the tune my car still searches for idle when I come to a stop. When in reverse ( M6 ) it wants to stall. I also have some surging at low rpm when driving. Is this normal? The tune was done after a cam/header install btw.

I hope you didn't pay much for that tune! Those are all issues that a good tuner can take care of.

Absolutely not. My cam is not huge but it returns to idle just like it did with the stock cam.

Don't have to live with it at all. Heck you can make a G5x4 into daily driving material

Any chance you can get a copy of your tune, perhaps I could give you some pointers.

I had those issues (except for reverse) until I was able to pick up EFILive and fine tune the programming. SmokingWS6 is right. You can get just about any cam back to "normal" drivability.
