03 C32 Jerkyness 3rd to 4th, 4th to 5th
Lately I have had a problem with my C32. When floored and going from 3rd to 4th, and 4th to 5th. In the upper rpm range I start to get a jerkyness, where it seems like the supercharger is disengaging or something, you feel a loss of power and can almost hear a sound as it's jerking back and forth.
I just started having this problem. I have ASP Pullies and Speedtuning software. I did not have the problem with speedtuning software, nor when I put the ASP Pullies. It just developed in the last few days. Has anyone heard of anything like this?

It almost feels like a loss of power in high 3rd gear rpm's. Then when it get's into 4th, it pulls again hard.. But in the top of 3rd you can feel it loose power, jerk, then power, then jerk.. then shift.. It does the same thing from 4th to fifth, but even lower in the rpm's.
Just wanted to add that.

I'm thinking it's either just from the pullies and the software adapted incorrectly, or I need to have some changes made to the software. I can't see something being "messed up" without fault codes coming up if anything else was wrong. Just appears like some software issues, just seeing if anyone else had the issues.
I'll try going to stock software first to see if that resolves the issue.

No problems here for near 2 years.. Evosport pulleys and Speedtuning software. Drives with stock smoothness, just goes like hell. I do know that you will need 93 octane in the summer months of the south if the temps get hot to get all the horsepower out of it. This time of the year - no problems.
