I know T&J performance was working on it. But i was wandering if they ever figured it out becaseu mine is horrible. I can push the clutch in and let is out in the low rpm in first and the rpms drop bad and then shoots back up and works fine, dose this mainly after it has been sitting, overnight, at work, ect...

Try putting your stock intake tube in with the screen and see if it goes away. Sometimes the 90 deg before the MAF gives the ECU bad readings.

My car bucks at low rpm's (like 1K RPM) driving at a constant speed. The bucking is from my timing adjuster set at 15 deg. It goes away when I set the timing back to 10 deg.
