Default Help - Starting Issues

I've got a 2002 T/A with a LS7 Supercharged engine. When I first start the engine it feels like I'm running a "carburated engine" as it generally stalls out a couple of times before I can get it to stay running.

Then, after I get it to stay running, it's takes about 5 to 10 minutes of "sitting there" to let it warm up before I can drive it without it stalling.

Any suggestions or ideas as to what might be causing these problems. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry folks, kind of new to posting, but I forgot to be a bit more specific in "Title Section"

since no one else will say it

You need a Tune.
If it's already been tuned
Find another tuner that will do a better job.

Makes sense. I don't think the local speed shop has/had a clue about professional tuning. I'm trying to make plans to take it to a professional tuner in Georgia that I've heard great things about.

Thanks for the feedback.

once you get it tuned take it to the track i'm sure alot of people on this site would be interested in seeing time slips from a supercharged LS7 in a 4th GEN Fbody.

I would be interested also.
