Default problems after tune

I was wondering if anybody has any ideas why my car is running like it is.Issue number one car runs rough til its really warmed up approximately 10 minutes,number 2 car wants to stall if I jab the the clutch at approximately 2500 rpm or higher.Isuue number3 the car has a lot of black sut on the back of the car and gas mileage sucks.I am am running a small cam with heads,aluminum flywheel and all bolt ons.The car makes awsome power when it is warmed up but these issues are bothering me,do i need a better tune?

If this is all on a stock tune, actually either way, you probably want to have a tuner look at it before you do some damage. That's my opinion. Good luck.

I think you need your tuner to look at it again. My Vette runs like crap when I first start it up and drive. But it does fine after a couple of mins. It also sounds like your running really rich. Your tuner can fix the problems. Good Luck
