Default f13 problem

Got it installed friday. Have about 250 miles on it. Has 2.73s and a 4k stall. It bucks around 1500 rpm and is dieing on me. Its died about 5 times since I got it back. Just wondering if I need to drill the tb more? It was drilled two sizes. Also had a mail tune from futral tuned for nitrous.

shifts are 6500 and idle is 850.

Planning on it. Not sure if I want 342s or 373s. But they will be coming soon!

Mine is an M6, but adding timing down low really helped reduce the bucking at low rpm's.

I must be mucho lucky, mine was good to go with a little tuning (just IATs).

The only issue I have is on hot starts if I do not let it idle for a little bit it wants to die whe I try to pull off. If I let it idle, from start-up, for say 60 seconds all is good for the rest of the drive no matter what I do. I know in my case it has to do with the LTITs needing to be matured before I drive off....

good luck,

Other than the dieing on me the cam is awesome. I have never owned a cammed or stalled car until now. I'm 19 and will take it serious. The cam and stall is a lot of fun just need to get the kinks out.
