i hate driving this car!!
Do you mean, aside from the OP posting on June 1 asking basic questions about the platform, then, not 2 months later proclaiming to have a 600whp car saddled with a 2.4/GT40 built by who-knows-whom, tuned by seemingly no one of competence. Other than that, no malafide acts seem to have surfaced thus far.
But thanks for some help some of u! Im curious to see if my TB seals are leaking, i forgot to mention my idle is a little high as well. But honestly i come from built srt-4's and there community is so much nicer to noobs like me that would just like to learn. Idk if driving an evo gets to some of ur heads but there is no point in putting someone down when they ask a simple question. All i wanted to know is where in my tune can i look for trouble that would cause this issue. Then i get some dude thinking hes a badass n rambles on about me and my posts if u dont like my question dont reply dam! Thanks for the help some of u! I appreciate it

All car groups have an "elitist" feel to them if you hang around long enough. Most of the guys here have seen plenty of noobs come and go. Pick up a car cheap, mod it out with no thought/research of the combo, then complain about its performance.
There is a lot that can be wrong with your tune, looking at one area most likely isn't going to help much. SD takes time to setup correctly for proper drivability, sounds like you got a WOT tune and not much else.
Buying a cable and having the car E-Tuned sounds like a much better option than dealing with whomever you currently are for tuning.
Next, try each one of these ONE AT A TIME so you can narrow down whats wrong.
Before you do anything do a boost leak check.
Then swap out the spring in your Tial and see what happens, this is the least expensive route to go first, free if you have the spring on hand.
From there throw the stock COP back on (if you have it) and see if it is the spoolin unit that has something wrong with it because I know they sell them new and refurbished so I dont know which one you opted for, new I hope.
Check the dw300, is this pump even flowing enough for a 40r? Anyways, check this because every once in a while people get faulty units.
If any of these dont fix it then it might be something to do with the SD tune as mentioned previously SD is a PITA to set up apparently. Also I had FIC's and they ran like crap so you might want to have them looked at, I was running 2150's though.
Let us know what happens...
OP, I say you're hitting little bumps in the road causing you to bounce up and down in your seat slightly and your foot is also doing the same with the gas peddle. The tb is very sensitive to that. It happens all the time.

Im gonna put its probably tune related, a switch to speed density even though instead of measuring airflow its measuring air pressure, im sure with a not known tuner that probably lies most of your problem. Your best bet is to do some datalog sessions, see if you can mimic your issue while your able to check back at the sensors operation in real time. Not for anything but i havent datalogged mine, but ive been noticing my coolant gauge fluctuates from operating temp to c, now theres nothing wrong with my coolant being low or improper thermostat operation, but since the connector is lose, mine gets intermitten bucking at light throttle, until you get it fixed learn to modulate the throttle better in slow cruise/ speed conditions, might make it easier for you. For me in traffic i let the car start moving for at least a second before take off, i barely use any throttle input if i dont have to in 10mph to 15mph traffic conditions or it does somethin similar to yours. Now ive got cams, light flywheel etc, anything to make it to where it dont like to go slow haha So datalog with your tuner, or have someone check ur logs or if you have a laptop you can remote tune.

OP, I highly doubt that hitting bumps in the road is an issue... I have driven lots and lots of cars and never had a problem with throttle by hitting a bump...

Actually Mr comedian its called typing on my phone. And if your throttle plate is sticking then yes at light throttle it could happen. So unless u come up with potential troubleshooting for op that he can try. Troll somewhere else.
