Default Stalling

I own a 2011 Callaway Grand Sport Corvette with 40k miles. Lately, when I start it, it immediately stalls. When I restart it stalls again. I have to try a few times before I am successful. This only happens maybe once every two or three weeks. Any ideas what can be causing this problem?
Thanks

Call Callaway and ask them about a diagnostic procedure for the boost a pump controller. They can go bad, causing the symptoms you describe

Their number is 860 434 9002, in case you don’t have it.

You bought a Callaway modded car and ask the question is this an expensive repair ? Probably yes.

I just wanted to know the approximate cost estimate just like you get with any repair. I would ask that even if I drove a Lambo. No need for an attitude!

Wasn’t meant as an attitude. Anything Callaway is expensive. My apologies that you took it that way.

If it’s just swapping out the box, then it’s a few hundred dollars, I would imagine. I haven’t done this job in probably over a decade. There’s a process to check in fuel pressure, etc., but I’m not sure of your mechanical aptitude

I haven't done much with cars since the carburetor, points, condenser and spark plug days. I contacted Callaway. If they can't help I Guess I'll just have to leave it to the Chevy Mechanics. LOL
I surprised no one else has responded.
Thanks again for your input.
