Default Stalling issues after cam..

I installed a cam from texas speed a few months ago, specs on the cam are 224/228 .581"/.588" 114 lsa and it's in my 5.3.

At slower speeds like pulling in and out of a parking spot or driveway, the truck almost always stalls or comes close to it whenever I hit the brakes. Seems to be worse with the wheel turned and the power steering pump straining the engine a bit more.

I mentioned the issue to Justin at black bear while he was doing my tunes, but none of the new tunes seemed to work. I have read in a few spots to drill a hole in the TB but not sure if that's the right way to go just yet. Was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what to do..

might wanna remind BB about it and see what he thinks. Drilling the hold in the TB blade was the old school way to get around the fine tuning for idle.

oh and have you cleaned your throttle body lately? sometimes they get gunked up and make idle act funny.

Yea, been cleaned twice since the install. I'll email Justin to start, he may have overlooked it originally since he never directly addressed it.
