Default Car can't find idle

I recently had a TR 236/230 .599/.575 112lsa cam installed and tuned. car still strugles to find idle alot. Sometime it is great other times it will surge up and down for about 2 minutes. Is this normal with this size cam?

That is what I thought to. Sometimes you start it up and it is great others you just want to drive it into a wall. I feel kind of stupid sometimes at a redlight with a loud *** car going waaaaa, waa, waaaaa, waa, waaaaa.

where at...who did the tuning...do you have a graph...sounds like it was just tuned for wot...no street tune...that's quite a bit of power out of a cam only car...especially with a cam of that size...

Does it do it when warmed up? Mine will hunt/surge at idle for a couple minutes after startup, longer if cold.
