After a tune

is it normal for the car to take a while to idle after starting? I just had my cam installed and had the car tuned and after everytime I start it it's like it has reset. It takes about a minute for it to idle. After it warms up it idles great. If I have the a/c on it will die when I turn it on unless I give it a little gas. Is this normal?

Fuel is probably off a bit, and is correcting itself after it warms up.

Sounds like the idle air tables are off too - not compensating for the A/C friction losses. Many tuners don't know how to correct idle issues, but the tables are there to solve these and most other problems...
