I have this same behavior on my S-10 blazer after swapping the 2.8 for a
350.  I'm still using the original cruise module.  I always thought that
the V8 module would be less aggressive but have never gotten around to
trying one.  So you might try one from the MPFI engine and let us know
if it works.  Or David's suggestion of modifying the orifices sounds
good (and cheap).
