Default Surging issues

Hi all, I've been having issues lately with my car surging at any cruising speed in just about every gear when I'm under 3K RPMs.

Anyway to fix the surging. I'm running 28* of timing, I'm in the desert heat, have stage 2 heads w/roughly a TR230 cam. If I pull 2-3 degrees of timing would that be a quick fix or is there more that I will need to do in order to stop the car from surging? I'm also getting horrible gas mileage. I just filled up and I got 130 miles out of 3/4 of a tank! The guy who just did a quick tune on my car used ATAP and after the head/cam install my LTRMs were pegged @ 25 (at WOT). After making the changes to what I'm currently running my LTRMs were negative at idle & cruise and 0 at WOT. Hope this background info helps someone in solving my problems.
Thanks,
Tyler
