Need some help guys

Alright, well this has been an issue for awhile but tonight really got to me. When my car comes to a stop the rpm's bounce and the car wants to fall on its face. It stalled on me 3 times tonight when i was out cruising. It does this only when im coming to a stop both in and out of gear, and on or off the clutch. I have changed out my plugs and it has been tuned with hp tuners. I am currently running a 2.8" pulley and 60lb injectors but it was also doing this when i had the 42lbers in. I was hoping with tag's tune this issue would go away.

But again it only does it when im coming to a stop both in and out of gear, and on or off the clutch.

So any help would be greatly appreciate it.

Thanks guys

Do you have an aftermarket flywheel? My friend had one that was so light, it would stall if he let off the clutch in neutral.

From what you are stating it sounds like whoever tuned your car messed something up, but keep in mind 60 pound injectors will cause an idle flux but it should never stall out either too much fuel or your rpm idle is set to low try raising it a little.

this happened with my 42lbers also so....Doc first tuned my car then i got TAG's tune file from them. I did raise the idle a little which helped it out a little bit, but its still doing it. I have hp tuners now...so if anyone could help me with this fix

Did you try cleaning the MAF? I know it sounds simple, but that could do it.
