Default Just put in 382 and had some questions Please help

Well I started my 382 today and good news was it started bad new is two problems.
First problem is the car idle's at 800 rmp and has died once so far. Also the trottle response it extremely crappy. It must be about a 1/2 second slow. When i give it a tap it boggs and then starts to rev. Now I have not had the car tuned for the stoker yet, so as far as the computer goes it is still on stock settings. It was the lunati 382 kit with 11:1 pistons. Also I am running the stock cam (i know big mistake but...)
Any info any one can give me on these problems will be greatly appreciated. And does anyone know any places to get the tuned in southern cali?
Thanks for your time

Did you change the injectors or any thing? What kind of heads did you put on it? You may also have a vacuum leak.

Any updates on how it's running now?

Might want to make sure all the plug wires are on the coil packs and plugs securely, sometimes they don't snap in place exactly like they should.
