3000 miles so far, I installed hellcat oil pump, new timing chain and guides, stage 2 cam and valve springs and a tune, the only problem I have with the engine is it will not idle unless the a/c is on (it has the idle, stumble and die)

Mostly, I'm wondering which brand of lifters you used?

Or, are you saying you didn't replace the lifters?

I went with the stock mopar, the 6.4 takes the same as the 5.7 and basically the research I did said these were about the best just don't get cheap ones

Good call with the lifters.
Curious about your stalling though, have you talked with your tuner about it?

It took me 6 months of begging to get the two tunes I have (they are ok for now), I am in the process of saving up for an HP turner and a couple tunes from someone like hemifevertuning.com or finding a shop with a dyno and having them set me up. I know others have had this problem but got it fixed (not by the same one I dealt with), I am just tired of dealing with the person I had to deal with.

Who did your tuning? I don't understand why some of these fools act like you're burdening them by asking them to do what you paid for.
I would suggest looking at Ryan @ FRP for tuning. I've had great success and communication with him.
