Default Car won't idle after new setup

Just making this video to see if maybe I'm missing something stupid

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KGJdH9pnEA

Had the PCM reflashed on a bench by my tuner, he dyno tuned the last setup and I was extremely pleased so I'm sticking with him

Giving it gas will help if the idle drops down to like 500rpm, but anything over that it seems like it already has too much air and not enough fuel?

The video is kinda crappy I should have pushed the car up closer to the camera but it's just a go pro, shame this is the first time I've been able to use it this year too lol.



Previous parts were:
224/224 .561/.561 112LSA cam
LS6 intake
78mm ported TB
85mm MAF
30lb SVO injectors

New parts:
231/234 .617/.612 112LSA cam
FAST 102mm intake
NW 102mm TB
LS7 MAF in 100mm housing
36lb Bosch injectors

Input is appreciated, again not expecting any miracle cure as I know this is a pretty big change for a mail order tune vs what I had before.

Get one of these, It usually smooths these problems out.

A lot of changes there for a bench flash... need to get a wideband on it and see where the fueling is - pretty much just needs tuned...

That's what I figured. Do you think if I reset the tps count like the procedure in the sticky it may idle?

Not gonna help if it is at 17:1 or 10:1 AFR... You gotta find that out first... Was the tune changed for the injectors? I'm betting that MAF is throwing it off...

Low fuel pressure or the base tune is just off alot. It's hard to base tune a conversion.
