The tuner is a well known tuner in the racing community here name Wayne Johnson who does wicked job tuning cars but havent worked too much on vettes. The car stalling is getting radiculous and Im thinking of getting a canned tune from J. Formato and see what happens?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

Using a predator type tuner to tune a car like yours could be dangerous if your using a canned tune. Your engine could be running really lean, which could cause it to fail. Before you do anything else, you need to do a custom tune. If you can't find someone do it locally then do a mail order tune with someone by buying hptuners, etc. I would be afraid to even drive the car until you do that. That also quiet frankly is why you probably are under powered as well.

I wouldnt do an email tune either unless he can make scans, send it back, and get retunes.

You need a REAL tune in person from someone or purchase HPtuners so you can get tuning help based off of what the car is actually doing.

This is EXACTLY what I believe is in your best interest. Purchase HPtuners and the door opens a lot wider for you.
