this is weird

ok guys I have a 86 Iroc Z with a 5.7 liter TPI. When starting cold or when warm, it takes a minute or so for the RPM's to drop down. If I don't wait for the R's to drop , it hits very hard when i put it in gear. I have put in a new IAC and it helped some but its still not right.
Any help on what to do next would be great, its been like this ever since I started rerstoring this car and it is driving me CRAZY.
