Default Cam Surge

Is there anything that can be done in the tune to reduce or help with cam surge?

The setup:
LTx 383, 24x ignition, 0411 PCM, 228/234, .576 lift, Yank LTPAS3400.

Idle is already at 850. It surges bad. Let off the brake and it'll start bucking and pulling like a damn small bull out of the chute. Drives perfect, all working like it should. Just alot of surge.

BTW, The TC is brand new. Less than 100 miles.

Take it to a better tuner. That's not a big cam for a 383, especially on a 3400 stall. It just needs someone who knows what they are doing.
