Default transmission soft idle low

I just bought a 2006 corvette with Z51 package and a lot of modifications all done by Cartek. I'm running 456rwhp. The problem Ive had is my transmission seems really soft. When backing down my driveway if I slow down and put the clutch in the car almost cuts off. I have a diesel truck that is a 6spd which just goes if you put it in gear. I was wondering if its the car or if its me just not beig use to it.

Well, diesels are the king of torque and low end torque as well.

Gasoline engines just don't make torque at idle.
Give it a bit of gas

I have almost the same car with a hair less HP but idle is set at a hair over 600 and no problems.
