Hi all. I was looking for input; experience on this issue;

When I first bought my car 2 years ago, changed TB to Tony Mamo + Roto Fab. Drivability with my M6 was much improved compared to the stock TB. Taking off in first gear was smoother and much easier to modulate.

Fast forward many mods later;

Just got back form the shop after installation of a 32% cam, Big Gulp, Kong 103 TB, Kong Ported blower, and 10% lower Pulley / ATI balancer.

I was disappointed with the drivability in first gear, the dead band is a lot larger than what I experienced with the Stock TB, Idling is seems too low, dying at times when coming to a stop, idle is so low that the motor dies before the computer has time to pull the idle back up. The first few degrees of throttle movement bogs the car down as if the mixture is too lean.

Before I contact my shop / tuner with this issue, I just wanted feedback from the folks that have gotten similar mods; how "bad" is your low RPM drivability? What should my expectations be? Never cammed a car before.

Thanks in advance for the input.
