Default What are my best options for getting a few issues fixed with the tuning...

Theres a few things I've noticed.

1. When I push in the clutch. 90% of the time the RPMs go up to 2k. until I let off the clutch again.

2. The car also surges/bucks sometimes in 1st/2nd gear.

3. The car hunts for idle ~1k-1.3k

all of the above annoys the **** out of me.

The car was tuned at RPM with LS1edit. Whats my best options for getting this fixed and about how much should it run me? Should I take it to a shop or get HPtuners? Im a newb with all this H/C ****. .

Thanks DONAIMIAN for helping me thus far in the tech section.

Patrick.

How far are you from RPM ? I'm sure Brian or Matt over there would take care of those issues for you... Give them a call... If you don't have the # PM me...

dude there are like 58037489 tuners in the houston area, take it to worm boy or something. That car has serious mods to it, not something that i would let just any shop touch, go with a good experienced and reputable shop.

Im not from/dont live in houston ... by the way. I did take it to a reputable shop. 90% of people in this area use them, they just arent a sponsor yet.

That's where I got the idea you had cats.. Didn't really read it all that great the first time.
