Default should my car be surging?

My car will die if i rev my engine up usually, when i come to stops, and its a PAIN IN THE *** to startup.

The cam is nothing but mild, Comp Cam 232/234 .595/.598 on a 112
I have a 3600rpm torque convertor.

Is it just the tuning. MTI did the tuning and ive been several times and the problem has not been fixed!

I wouldn't call that a mild setup, it should be pretty stout, give MTI a call and have them resolve your issues

You dont have a fast TB by chance do you? If not its a tuning problem.

Undoubtably tuning. Why call them out on the net? Why not just let them fix it? I have no ties to them. Just a thought.

Z28SPD - Better to take it up with them directly, many people have had good experiences with MTI, some setups are unique and need some adjustment. I can understand calling them out if they're not willing to make it right, at this point it's just an inconvenience but not an injustice. There are also many other options at this junction, if MTI won't take care of you, you can always go elsewhere, though I'm sure they will do their best to live up to their name.

Ya a call out is not too cool. I dont think what you posted here was bad you were just seeing if you were justified in saying it was due to the tune.
