Make sure there is no wires that are getting tangled or pinched by the break peddle. My friend had a problem like that but that was whenever he pushed the clutch in.

Vacuum problems... perhaps?

You brakes are vacuum assisted so if you have some kind of leak there of course its going to stumble.

If you got a boost gauge sit her at idle and use the brakes, check for fluctuations in the vacuum.

That happens to me alot. I have 280 cams and when i come to a stop in a hurry ,ie.... traffic light, toll booth i have to make sure i give it gas a little to avoid bogging out. My tuner adjusted my idle aliitle above 1000 rpm. It rarely does it now. It's the cams.

Thats pretty damn low...

My stock cammed evo and stock displacement runs at a cool 21in/hg. I think either your cam timing is out, you have a vacuum leak, or those are just beefy cams o.o;!
