Stumbling off idle to1400rpm
From a stop I give a little gas and let out the clutch and it seems as though the car won't accelerate much, engine stumbles until 1450rpm and the kind of wakes up and is perfect once past this point. I know that a thrust bearing is going in my engine, and would make me think it is this, however, could it be tuning or something else that went bad? Any ideas of what might be causing this? Thanks.

Definitely not this( even letting the clutch out at an overly high 1350 still does this), only this that were changed tuning wise since I first noticed this was adding a couple of grams of air because i was running really rich off idle and had trouble on hot starts, problem solved, but now this is happening and one a thrust bearing is going so what else might it be? Could it be a vacuum leak?

You can also use the smoke of a cigarette to see if there are any air disturbances around your intake manifold gaskets.
PS Could an exhaust leak cause a similar situation?
