I'm Bama tuned for my Xcharger and after laoding that tune the car is very sluggish when taking off from a parking spot. It is only on the first take-off, once I have achieved 20-30 mph it won't do it again unless I park and shut it off. I don't know if this is tune related of something else. This is where I'm starting. I've changed my tunes for different mods a number of times and never had this issue before.

If anybody has any thoughts or seen/heard of this before let me know.

Thanks,
Josh

Joshspony,

Once this symptom happens the first time, will it occur again the same drive cycle? So, if you were to come to a complete stop and then start accelerating again, would the car act normal or experience this symptom for the second time?

Have you be able to contact the Bama Team about your issue? If not, send me over your First/Last name and shipping address. I'd be happy to get you in touch with them and see if we can work this out!

Shane, it will not occur again in the same driving cycle. I can come to a complete stop or do anything I want as long as I don't shut the car off it won't happen again.

I did talk to Bama about it when I first used the tune when I installed the Xcharger, but they didn't seem to have any real reason for it besides let it warm up and told me it was like that sometimes. Getting my car out of storage last week, I decided to revisit this and see if I could get to the bottom of it.

Thanks for the PM Josh!

I find it particularly strange the symptom only happens once per drive cycle. I know these blowers like to operate a hotter temperatures, but I didn't think there should be any type of lag.

I'm going to bring this up to the Bama Team again and see what they think. Maybe there's something missing that wasn't thought of last night. Regardless, someone from the Bama Team will be in contact with you shortly!

Thanks Shane, Ryan got ahold of me and suggests new tunes and updating the tuner.

The lag almost seems like when you have the TCS on and you get on it from the parked position. The car doesn't lose power but it kinda surges. It goes without saying that I have the traction control off.

I am talking about normal driving not racing or goofing around while pulling away from the parked position.
