Unhappy Surging idle....

Ok, just before I went to Oklahoma for the weekend I swapped out my stock mass air meter for a 73mm C&L unit. From the 2 shops I called, the meter is automatically calibrated for 19lbs injectors if there is no sample tube in it. Is this true from what you know? It came with a 30lbs sample tube, so I just took it off. When I got to Oklahoma, the car didn;t want to find a steady idle. It would idle between 500-1000 rpms, and die from time to time when coming to a stop light. Anybody know why it would do this? It would take close to 30 seconds for it to find a steady idle. It doesn't seem to do this at my 3900ft elevation, but at the 1300ft elevation in Oklahoma. Any help on this is greatly appreciated. BTW, for those who helped on the boost gauge post, I was able to get up to about 4.5 lbs in Oklahoma. But the car ran like a whole new beast out there! If only I liked that state!

Chris
