Default Jumpy engine

My 2013 corvette GS has a CAM sounds awesome, BUT sometimes the car want to take off seems like it gets worse as it gets hotter, it feels like it wants to stale but never does, one time it staled at a light when it was very hot, but that was the only time

any help would be great thank you

Default Tune

I took it to a professional performance tuner he said I didn’t need a tune and that’s how a engine reacts with that type of CAM

im not specialist with engine but I disagreed with him

The car needs a tune and not that tuner. Find someone else.
