Default G8 Engine Issues

Hello,
For some time I have been driving my G8GT with an idle issue and today is the last time I want to drive it until I fix it.
Here are the problems:

- Rev the engine, bliping throttle and letting go of throttle and engine comes down to idle and revs up as if I was bliping it for about 3-4 times to around 1500rpm. Then it corrects its self.

- From a dead stop in drive, give it not aggressive throttle and hit brake hard, car wants to stall then BUCKS the RPMs or just stalls out.

- Going for a "fun" drive and slam the brakes on until I come to a compleat stop, car stalls or BUCKS.

The mods are cam 223/231, gears, converter, exhaust, intake. Very basic.

I only use HPT for transmission tunes, so I am not familiar with engine tuning, could someone steer me in the right direction?

The car has been professionally dyno tuned, not street tuned, long story.



Thanks for any help!

Has it been like this the entire time after the dyno tune? Base Idle Airflow comes to mind.

What was the fix?

-Added 2-4 grams to desired airflow below 800rpm & 2 add 2 degrees to idle spark.
