Went though the same thing with my 540's last year
Changed cams over the winter. I didn't have enough vacuum at idle to pull fuel once I put it in gear and the rpms dropped some more

Do you have the idle set so high that the butterflies are open past the slot? I'm wondering if some carb work by one of the gurus wouldn't help.
