Default Idle problems

Hi Guys:
I have a 00'vette with a ls2 and a P1SC-1procharger kit. I also have a 232-240 with a lift of 595 and 608 cam the degree is 114. My problem is When I turn the AC on the engine shuts off.I have been told that if you drill a hole on Throttle blade I should be able to fix it. Is this true? if it is true how big should it be? I know that all engines are different but where should I start? any other solutions? My tunner is using E-live.Guys I know when you use big cams this things happen just asking for help

I assume this happens when the motor is idling? Auto or M6?

Don't drill the t-body. It can be fixed in the tune. There are many airflow tables to adjust the idle. One of them being A/C torque load. If your tuner doesn't know about this, find another tuner.

So car dies right away when you switch A/C on. I've seen in the last few days of the tunes I downloaded for reference. That alot of tuners set the target idle when a/c is turned on to 0 rpm across the table. Perhaps the tuner did the same?

haha sure you aren't looking at manual trans tunes?

There is a way to worth with the load (Ed mentioned it) and it's not to try to jack up the RPMs with the AC on
