Default Idle Surge

Hey guys, little background on the truck. had an lq9, 80e TSP TV2 cam, nnbs intake and TB, and Longtubes. Truck was tuned locally and has been great for about 6 months. Recently I started having some pretty bad surging, like when im creeping along in traffic, or a parking lot. If I snap off the throttle it will jump around 6/700 rpm then finally settle. My tuner is not around right now, but I do have my own HPTuners. No leaks or anything that I know of. Only thing that changed around the same time was the 80e and yank 9.5 stall. As far as I remember, it was doing it before the swap too. Any quick changed I can try personally to help alleviate the problem? Thanks guys

The converter can affect the idle if it a different stall rating, and loading up the transmission more at idle. What RPM is the converter rated at?

Can you log the airflow at idle (MAF g/sec), idle trims, and timing?

So youre saying when you let off the throttle the RPM jumps up?

Do you have a cable TB or electronic one?
