Running a 77 the car is shutting down on me around 2-2500 rpm how do I fix this issue gonna slap a wideband check to see if it's giving me a lean conidition. Car feels fast tho.

I presume the issue is resolved or so bad it is beyond comprehension.

If the car was having low fuel pressure wouldn't it cause the car to lean out and just cause the car to pull timing.

My mechanic did but I didn't see how he did it. Anyway tony tuned it and he told me I have a hiccup from a Vaccum leak or the sensor being beat up near the bypass valve. We tried to drive the car with the resistor on and it ran horriable so tony said to plug in sensor and it worked better now I have the issue under load at 2200-2600rpm. So I have to rev slowly over it so it doesn't kick in. It really sucks man feel like I destroyed the car now.

Same here. Once I removed the resistor the car woke up. Good luck and hopefully you fine this gremlin.

wrong platform to try to make 630+hp not like a caddliac ctsv. Anyone who says e55 are boost friendly needs to really evaluate the forums so many headaches. I'm gonna try to figure out this issue if not I'll drive it like this and then when I sell the car down the road I'll install the stock pulley back. Fixed pulley def causing this issue. And for everyone who says the tuners figured out the hiccup issue well I'm being told it has nothing to do with tuning. I choose now to believe nobody at this ponit I'm gonna take the car to a mechanic and check over the car with smoke test. But it's sad because everyone gives u different advice and I was told I wouldn't have issues with this setup fml. Big disappointment, never buying another amg again.

List your mods.

At the beginning, I had diving issues with my tune. It would feel sluggish at the beginning of every gear. Tony, sent me a revised tune and my car daily drives perfect.

At the very least why don't you just put the stock pulley back on and enjoy your car. Or get a clutched pulley.

I have long tube headers, one step Colder spark plugs, 550cc injectors, 77 fixed, HE. Yeah I asked him if it was the tune causing the power break up. So I'm gonna have my mechanic look everything through. But I'm no genius but the first thing I thought was the tune is off.

First, get that smoke test done and go from there. After that...hopefully it doesn't find any leaks. Put your stock injectors back and ask Tony to send you a revised tune. Then see how your car is running.
