Let me retype this for you

I started my engine last night and there is a problem when my car goes to a stop.RPM goes to 3-4000 rpm(or 3-400??) and back to 1000rpm.I do not know what this is?When I changed the MA back to the GM one is got better,but there is still a problem.

Looking for idea's?

I had the same issues with my 383 right after the install. In Edit I multiplied the Idle Air table by 140% and changed the values in the "Airflow Decay In Gear tables to 1.0 from 0-6MPH. This fixed me right up. Driving in traffic is no longer a problem and the car is no longer searching for idle.

i had the same proplem when i installed the 383 Lunati Stroker in my luminaSS(GTO)
with a lot bigger cam then yours it was tunning proplem i got it fix with ls1edit

i'll be in UAE after a mounth or 2 i'll help u if u are somewhere around there ,,,
but i see that u don't have ls1edit so it will be better to call MTI tell them the proplem and send ur pcm or find another pcm and send it to them

I agree with SilverTA the issue is tuning. Call MTI and have them send you a new PCM or ship tours to them. This issue should habe been taken care of on your initial tune. It seems to be a real common problem with bigger cams.
