If thats the case he should try and adjust the little throttle blades adjust screw. Might help some if its up.

That is what the problem is, the idle doesnt sound choppy enough to me, yet when warm it is only at like 875 on the tach. It sounds more like its pulsating or something.

That is the price you pay for putting a large cam in your car, learn to love it or change it IMO. That cam has a lot of overlap, and that's why you smell the gas in your exhaust. The loss of power or hesitation down low is also because you are running a larger camshaft.

I heard all ur videos and that is what mine sounded before the tune.I've got 2001 ws6, m6, stock rear gears. I'm running Comp Cam 231/237 .589/.595 112+4 straight up. was running with adj borla, dual tip. now I got x-pipe dumped, sounds badass. even though you got the mail order tune I would say it's close but, not on. that size of cam would need to be dyno tuned in my opinion. of course, unless tuner knows that cam. I would need to tap on throttle when it would start to act up, something like u discribed it and what I was hearing. I could send u a video of mine so you get an idea pm me. dont know how to down load here from my file. mine idled the same as your before tune now it idles great, no surgeing just every now and then it will kick up to 1200rpm's at idle. but that dont bother me, I just tap on throttle and it calms down. love this cam!!
