I make sure my oil temp and engine are warm, it may be a problem with my cam adjusters , when it starts up there's a noise at the front of the engine like a ratlle for a second

Yes! I was having the exact same issue, and it turned out to be and issue with my Intake and Exhaust Cam Actuator Valves (the 2 on the passenger side of the valve cover next to the coil packs). Mine were going bad and after I replaced them and did a fresh oil change everything was back to normal.

NLSing is fine if you do it right. I've been NLSing for 3 years on my trifecta tune. I mean at the same time you have to be aware that with increased power you can RISK damaging the trans by not shifting right. So keep that in mind. But NLS shouldn't be the sole cause of breaking something.

I know my car felt like it needed to be really warm before NLSing properly. But Definitely oil and those cam actuators seem to be the culprits when it's misfiring in the way you mentioned.

The good news is the Actuators are relatively cheap and are really easy to replace.
