    Hot Start-Up Idle Surge

    The car is a 98 Vette and has an airbox and good size cam (236/605/112) along with headers. The tune is good except for hot start-up. The car wants to surge between 500-1500 RPM's. I can crack the throttle and it will settle down for a few seconds and then will go back to surging. Any ideas where to look?

    Yes, please read the stickies, they are there for a reason.

    I am willing to bet you don't have enough airflow and it also sounds like your spark corrections are not setup correctly.
