    Unhappy car is stuttering, problem with tune?

    last april i installed a LMS 1c cam with a circle d 3k stall. i also purchased one of livernois hand held remote tuners which i had used to tune the car post cam install. all was well with the car until recently when i installed a procharger d1sc with fast 102mm tb and intake with supporting fuel rails and 65lb injectors with a kenne bell BAP. after i picked up my car from a local tuner i took it to my buddies house (who also has a G8) and when i got off the highway the car stalled at the first stop sign. it started right back up but did it a few more times. over the course of a week and had a horrible idle. i took it back and he raised my idle throttle % which cleared up the stalling for the most part. since then, i have had problems with the car hesitating acclerating from 30 or 40mph and from 80 to 100mph. when coasting down during normal driving as i approach a stop light, my RPM drops pretty low IMO to around 400-450rpm the car is quiet at that time and a few moments later the rpm comes back up to 700-850rpm. the car just does not seem right to me. i took it back to the tuner again and he told me that i might have waffling with the rubber connecting hose just before my MAF or a bad MAF. I got a new hose as recommended and also a new MAF just to be safe. NOTHING CHANGED. The hesitating almost seems like the car cant figure out what gear to be in. I ended up taking it back yet again and it he told me everything was fine and normal. He told me when i want to get on it to manually shift it because in auto mode its too much power for the torque management to handle. i had my car scanned and smoked and they found no vaccuum leaks. they did find an intermittent faulty injector on bank 2 though. The car has brand new injectors so im not sure if this is correct. Does this sound like a problem with the tune or something wrong with the motor. thanks for the help

    so when i upgraded to the procharger they said that they could no longer provide me with remote tunes. Has anybody else had this experience with them. It seems as though there are too many variables to play with now for them to accurately tune it.

    I went from a turbo charger to LSA, Rick Crawford was able to remote tune my car.
