Can you put the stock tune in it and see if it fixes it? Also, MAKE SURE your detent cable doesn't have a lot of slop in it. physically take and put the shifter in low with the car on jack stands then crawl underneath and pop the shifter cable off and make sure the tranny is in low and not in second. Kinda sounds like even tho the shifter is in low the tranny lever is only going to second

also make sure the bracket for the cable is tight and not moving when shifting gears.
