Default I need help

This has probably been asked before but here goes. I can not get my car to idle below 3500 rpm. I have try to disconnect the iac motor and set the throttle by the throttle set screw. when it does idle at 3500 rpm i try to back the screw off little by little and i can get it to around 2800 rpm and then it dies. If i back the throttle screw off i can get it to idle around 1200 rpm by barely pushing the gas pedal. but it does not stay idling on its own. Here is what all is done so far.

306 do not know the builder or comperssion ratio because previous owner lost paper work.
Anderson Motorpsorts PMS, N-51HR cam, hi rev valve train, power pipe
FRPP 30 lb injectors
TFS twisted wedge heads
Professional Products Typhoon intake, 75mm throttle body and egr
BBK shorty headers
Bassani no cat x pipe, race mufflers with turn downs
Load IO mass air kit
Lighting mass meter
pulleys
electric fan
smog eliminator
plugs, wires (nothing special)

Ok, well with all that work done it could be anything...lol. First of all did the car ever run right since all that motor work was done? In other words was it ever tuned correctlywith the PMS?
