Default car pulse

Just started driving my car its a 99 TA, 233/239 cam, 4000 yank, 3" duals,headers, egr/air/ac delete. Car has just been bench tuned. When i drive the car going at a steady speed it feels like its pulsing sort a say. is this due to it not being fully tuned?

Do you know the specs of the tune and what was changed? Also when you say pulsing does your rpms go up and down? Or does it feel like its going to stall?

My car does this at around 30 mph. I have no idea why but it is really annoying.

I was thinking it was the trans as in the stall i put in, it didnt do it before it was put it in. suspension and tires are fine there was no problems untill i did the cam/stall swap. I am leary about driving it, dont wana have the trans go out
