Is this normal for stage 2? Car is real jerky at low rpms, more so after its warmed up. I used to be able to start from a stop from 2nd gear to save a shift but now its too jerky and stumbly to do that. Really gotta slip the clutch out from 1st and shifting to 2nd in order to not get a herky-jerky type action. Just wondering if this is normal. they did the install right, I have a 7K rpm redline and the blower makes 16.5psi of boost, so what gives.

 

Umm stop doing that no before you roast you're clutch. *Bangs head on desk*

Save a shift = Roasted a clutch....You decide....

 

i installed intense stage 3 bout a month ago (2.9, 42s) kinda does the samething....when in a very low rpm and just giving it a lil gas. But I never start off in 2nd gear!

 

Starting off in 2nd?! That kind of laziness will end up costing you $1500.

 

instense stage 3 only ahs 45 lb injectors i didnt know that i figured they were 60 the way everone says they give alot of power

 

save a shift?

lazy much?

 

I only start in second if I'm on a hill.

 

i'm ashamed you are from my home town.

 

i dont ever know what you are trying to say

 

god thats even worse

unless your downhill... steep downhill....

 

Thats what I'm saying

 

lol at this thread

 

your car hates you

 

I guess I'm used to driving my 5.0 stang.............But aside from starting from 2nd sometimes, I'll stop that..........what about the low rpm bucking and chugging??

 

^are you talking about when you are accelerating?

 

its a stick bro get over it. push the clutch in.

 

theres your answer........
sorry for your clutch bro may it rest in peace

 

Mine had a slight hesitation kinda feel under heavier acceleration but after i got 1 step colder plugs it cleared right up (had to re-gap them even though they were pre-gapped but hesitation is gone now). Not sure if you're talking about something like that or an actual bucking more violent feel.

EDIT: Just noticed you said during shifts and stuff, in that case nvm, doesn't sound like the same thing I had.

 

yes, clutch completly out, from about 1,500 rpms it feels real jerky

Guys, I think you are confused. Its NOT my driving. I've been driving/racing stick shift cars MUCH faster than this for years............Its when my foot is already completely off the clutch pedal, and I go to accelerate, it bucks/bogs for a split second then goes.............

 

all gears or just first?

 

Try getting 1 step colder plugs, what you're describing sounds like what I had. It's not a violent bucking right? More just kinda hesitation on WOT or heavy acceleration and only really get the jerky feeling from below 3-3.5k or so right?

15$ shipped for the coppers. Worth it even if it doesn't work.

 

this is a common stage two problem, it's called idle surge, will need someone to tune it for you. i think it's an injector min and max pw that needs to be changed, i could be wrong though.

 

Did you have it done at the dealership? Id ask em for another reflash and btw how much did it cost?
