Mine takes about 45seconds to find a decent idle, most of the time. Sometimes it take a little more, but not much.
I have a Ram Powergrip HD, and 3.42s and it drives fine. If you are trying to go 1st gear under 2k - as in just a few miles per hour, it does buck a little bit, but thats the only time I get that out of it.
When coming to a light, or slowing down, when I put hte car in neutral, I tend to get some surge, where it will run up to 2000rpm and hang there for a few seconds - sometimes longer, then slowly come back down. I'm not sure why that is, as i can never duplicated it in the next day of the same weather conditions...
Graph in sig lid/ 1 3/4 Lts, no cats, true duals with dr. gas x. Semi ported TB and stock pulley.

what was your 1/8th time?
Glad to hear this.. I'm still undecided between the TM 230/224 or the FM13/14 though I've been leaning more towards the FM side of things. The ability to be driven daily and retaining some sense of normalcy is important, I'm sure a good tune can iron out any small glitches.

7.4 was the 1/8th on that run.
Going to the track soon with ls6 intake and asp pulley, lower 60', and some more top end pull should be low 11's around 119+, cam only... 3500 raceweight
