Default car dies when put in reverse

it doesn't do it all the time, but it always seems to have trouble in reverse. i did my cam/converter/shift kit at the same time. it never did it before this, but i had mti do the tuning which is dead on as far as driveability goes. could this be a converter problem? thanks guys

less mass, might need to tweak the tune more. I see you have a cam too, that makes it a little more touchy.

Try raising the throttle any? There's a bump stop on the TB rest position that can do this.

You may want to do the idle relearn procedure; just going between reverse and park instead of park and drive.
