Default Idle surge???
After my car warms up it will surge or hunt for idle for about 5 minutes. This started after installing my convereter would this be a tuning issue or what?

Should be just a tuning issue IMO.

A little surging is normal i had the same problem but its only about a 50-100 rpm suge its not like cam surge where it will almost die. I added 50 rpm to my in gear table and it hasent been doing it. Also idel air in gear table adding some there should help.

Had the same issue after my TC install, sometimes even dieing when coming to a stop. Increasing in gear idle solved mine.

Increase the in gear by 25 rpm increments until the surging goes away. I had the same problem.

Do you have a way to log your running airflow? Have you tried adjusting your timing?
