Default weird issue.

I got my car(07 GXP) tuned a while back by trifecta(local dealer) and never actually tested any 23 to 30 km rolls till just recently.

I can go wot and whats seems a whole 4 seconds my car just sits there at a high rpm.

Then it eventually downshifts but nothing as far as torque or accel. I actually tested how bad it is when i was doing some runs against by buddies impala ltz(200whp) stock except for a tune. he pulled on me like i was standing still.

Now if i go from a dig i have no probs or for instance at cruising speed(60km) it has no issues.

This cant be normal? or should i get it looked at by my tuner again? Kinda worrying me as im coming outta warrenty.
