Idle problem
Does anyone know where in area of South Atlanta to get the LS3 computer programed to raise the idle. Mine is running around 450 to 500. Runs without any problems except when coming to a stop and then you notice the power steering starts to go a little.

Not w/ a stock tuned C6, of any version.
Guessing you're not tuned or could have a tuner change idle or DIY.
Have you absolutely ruled-out an issue w/ MAF, which might cause your problem? Guessing.
Will BTTT.
Hopefully tech savvy eyeballs will/can read it & chime-in.
Sorry, I'm at a loss. G/L

Since it is a cool restomod you may want to double check all the vacuum lines and the bands that hold the air cleaner to the throttle body for tightness first. Vacuum leaks are notorious for low idle problems and stalling when you let off the throttle.

Good point. There are so many things to try to remember to do or get back to and I'm sure some things needs to be rechecked.

As Landru says it's easy to do.
I had this problem after putting a crate LS3 in my '05. It ran great, but would die (or threaten to) when coming to a hard stop after high rpms. It was just the fuel/air mix, and it took a bit of fiddling and driving and fiddling to solve the problem.
