Default What is wrong with my idle

I had the tsp 231/237 cam and pp ls6 heads installed a couple of weeks ago. When I got it the car would start, idle for sh#t to the point at times it would die and when you slowed down it would do the same thing, finally got the p1010 code. Took the car back over to APE this week. Kirk played with LS1edit and drilled the tb hole to 7/64. Car ran fine while at his shop. Started fine, idled fine. Now it seems to have reverted somewhat to it's old self. Car idles fine after it warms up, doesn't die when coming to a stop. But, when you first start the car either cold or hot, it doesn't want to idle at all. What can I do to get the car when you start it, it idles as good as it does when your setting at a red light later on. This is the only problem I've got. IT acts like it's just getting gobs of fuel at startup and is running pig rich. Does anybody have any ideas as to what to do about this?

Have you tried asking APE about it?? Since they already made changes they would have a jump start on it. Sounds like they may need to recenter the IAC.
