BBK throttle bodies are usually decent ones. I'm a little surprised to see somebody with a problem. Regardless, did you try adjusting the throttle position sensor? Or did you forget to tighten down some of the inlet hose clamps as that would cause an idle concern as well.

You need to set the mechanical base idle at 600 RPM. See the sticky "Help me create the Surging Idle Checklist" at the top of the forum for help with your idle problems. The first post in the sticky has almost all the details you need.
