Default airconditioning messing up my car...

so, to start off, i have list of my mods on my sig.
today was pretty hot day (77 degrees) so i had my airconditioning on.
well, when I idle, i realized my rpm dropped down to 500-600 and my car died.
i figured it was something to do with my a/c, so i turned my a/c off and turned my car back on. everything is running fine. idling at 950-1100.

if i turn the a/c back on, the rpm drops to 500-700.

whats going on?

Did you change the A/C tables in your tune? Sounds like whomever tuned your car didn't touch the A/C tables and with a cam as big as yours it will struggle with the A/C on because the A/C adds load.

Pretty simple tuning stuff- and as above stated they are a separate set of tabels to be tuned ( for when the AC is on )
