LS1 idle problem

Since my TCI 3000 torque converter install everything is all good except one problem, the idle. I notice when I tap the gas especially when I go to park my car in the garage and sometimes when I make a complete stop the idle drops a little and goes down and the car seems it wants to die, but it doesn't then the idle goes back to normal. When its night time and when my lights are on and I tap the gas ( a light tap like when you are going to park your car in the garage slowly) the lights go dim and flickers and the idle goes down like it wants to die but it doesn't die. It seems like a alternator charging system problem but its not I check out the alternator at a auto parts store and it checked out good. The car drive fines except for this idle problem. What would cause this? Iam thinking it this has to deal with a tune? If so what tune would I have to get? what would I need to get adjusted? any suggestions?

Re: LS1 idle problem

I think as others have suggested you need a tune. A tune in this sense is not spark plug change, wires, filter. A tune in this sercumstances is, were you take your car to a performance shop to get a 'tune', like adjustments to the computer, torque managment and other stuff. I sure someone who has gotten a tune can post more info on this.
