Default P0106 code, torquer v3 cam

I've done some searching but I didn't see very clear answers given.

Specs are in sig.

My question is, could a possibly bad altenator or very base tune cause this code? My lights have begun to flicker at idle and the car has problems decelerating at times without wanting to die (usually have to throw it in neutral to keep it alive). I know having a decent size cam can cause this as well, if the tune isn't great. I'm going to go pick up a MAP sensor to be safe, but I would really like to explore the other two options before pulling my intake again (altenator or tune). Just looking to see if anybody else had a similar situation and didn't have to replace the MAP sensor?

You need to raise the P0106 table to be higher than your idle map kpa. This is because a longer duration cam will idle at a higher map kpa than the stock cam.
