Default Post dyno tune question...

Got my '03 z06 tuned with just an intake. Made great power. However, I've noticed when letting off the gas in 2nd gear(most noticeable), the car jerks. Kind of like I'm down shifting. The transition from letting off the gas is just not smooth like it was before the tune. The tuner is hard to get a hold of, so I was just wondering some thoughts on here first.

Thanks.

#1 never let anybody that is ( Hard to get a hold of ) work on your Corvette why ?might need him her to look at it for let me think something wrong with it .. Need to get up with the guy and ask what he did to it change timing Etc. need to know that stuff ..Had lots of tunes never had one jerk all were smooth actually should run and drive better after the tune need to talk to the tuner..

What kind of intake?
Describe the condition more. Does it buck, on and off, or does it almost feel like the brakes are applied a little, and you lung forward?
