hard jerk/hesitation tuning issue

i noticed after i had my car tuned that when i get into boost, and slowly let off the throttle, and get back into primary only injection (2 psi), my car does a real hard jerk/hesistation. What do i need to do to tune this out? I believe it has something to do with the injection staging. I read the sticky and still am a little confused as to why this would happen.

Well, the short answer is to adjust your staging settings.

With 850CC primary and 1600CC secondary, try 90% for %stage.

Then stage at 3500RPM and 2" of vacuum.

I have played alot with staging and found that the Opt_mapstg % has made 0 difference in most scenarios.

I leave them on 50% and tune out the miss.

well, my staging is tuned at 98% i believe. My car has been in the body shop for a while and i can't remember, but dave at KDR set it up for me, then he and i tuned it with the "base" settings that he normally puts into every car. If i reset my staging to 90%, i do have to re-tune the entire MAP after the secondaries come on, correct?

No you have to retune your whole map before the secondaries come on.
