Default Tuned Camaro Dying

I have a 2001 Camaro Z28 A4 that keeps dying at low speeds, with no SES light or codes being thrown.

Mods:
102/102 Fast Intake/TB, 100mm TSP MAF, TSP 1 7/8 Headers, TSP True Duals, ASP Underdrive Pulley, 3600 Yank SS Stall, and Frost Tune.

I've changed out the O2 sensors, and my next idea is to get a TSP Speed Density Tune, unless anyone else has another idea of why it would be dying at low speeds. i.e coming up to a stop sign/light while traveling under 20mph, or always in reverse.

Thanks.

I should note that it almost always dies after the first 3 minutes of driving up to stop signs, and then after that rarely does, and always will in reverse.

Does that throttle body have an idle adjustment screw? Have you checked IAC counts?

mine did this cold when I had a Fast brand throttle body

in your case though it probably just needs more idle tuning, an adjustment to the tb set screw as mentioned above, or a combination of both

Thanks guys, I've got the idle screw, hopefully it'll work. If not, then TSP will get my business for a Mail Order Tune.

a mail order tune with a Fast intake probably simply isn't going to cut it for an automatic trans car, they are very finicky and difficult to get right without being able to do logs and scans
