You really need a LIVE Tune. I bet your tune is Def. on the conservative side.

No Knock on the tuner, but mail order tunes are usually on the safe side.

Get a Live tune and i bet she comes to life.

Would be nice to get a live tune but no one around here that dose them. Did some testing with it yesterday and looks like it will do it if the truck sets off for 30-40min. Much longer than that and it is fine or if driving you just stop and get after it it is fine.

Sounds like a heat issue to me, possible inter-cooler coolant getting hot after the first pull and not cooling down quick enough before you do another run, you can probably pop the hood after a hard one and see if the fluid is boiling... Do you have anyway to monitor air temperatures after the blower?

Lightnings have a IAT sensor under the intercooler to monitor intercool efficiency post blower. I would think you could/should do the same on the chevys
