    glenny1988,

    Has the problem always been there?

    Just want to make sure that there are no underlying mechanical issues

    Cheers

    I used to have a VZ SV6 alloytec 190.... got it dyno tuned for $650 and they were able to change the throttle response, that fixed it up.... it used to have a flat spot.

    The software they used was VCM Suite so any tuner that has it should be able to tune your alloytec if it's a VZ.

    Willall racing here did mine here in adelaide.

    I didn't initially recommend a tune as it may "mask" the underlying problem with the car.

    As to why it would be causing this problem it would be a number of reasons hard for me to say without looking at the car. Maybe it could be your spark plugs which are sad etc.

    On this note I would probably recommend some companies to take a look at the issues personally

    Given you're NSW I would recommend the following companies (in no particular order)

    Generation Motorsport
    Castle Hill performance
    Silverwater Automotive Services

    Bugger. Don't know anyone in Newcastle

    I'd be happy to have a quick look at it if you're in Melbourne otherwise have a chat with a trusted, respected, local workshop

    kngsv6,

    We may have a tuning solution to suit shortly. If you can wait about a month we'll definitely have something to report to
