Default Help! Low idle, stalls when in drive.

Just finished installing bolt ons. Here's what I did. BBK 80mm Tbody, Vararam, Tbody bypass tube. Followed all the directions. After I let the car idle to operating temps I drove arounf the block. At no throttle the idle would creep to 2-300 rpms then shut off. What shoul I do to get a better idle?

GM says to let the car idle for 10min, a/c off to relearn the idle. I would disconnect the battery for a few minutes and then try the relearn procedure
