Really! Ask your so-called tuner just exactly what's the difference between tuning the idle of an LS1 motor in a Y-body to one in an F-body?

I think your best bet is to find another tuner. That 216/220 cam should be a cake walk to tune.

He needs to set the IAC to 8% open at idle. Corvettes are ETC (electronic throttle control.)
