I've finally put my SB on after purchasing it from another member awhile back and like the majority of the members, love the instant feedback it provides when accelerating.

Now the weird part: When i'm cruising at constant speeds, whether it be 30mph or 75mph, it almost seems as if i'm pulsating the gas pedal with my foot when in actuality, my foot is still. Again, I love how the pedal lag is gone with the SB installed but not being able to cruise without the rpm's fluctuating up and down almost makes me nauseated.

Tried searching the boards for a similar topic but didn't come across a topic of any semblance. Anyone else experience the same behaviour? Is this normal for you all?

BTW...i've done the tyranny reset but it didn't help.

Also have uninstalled and re-installed the SB a few times. With the SB out, the throttle response is completely stock with steady rpm's while cruising but after re-installing, the rpm's are back to being slightly erratic. Maybe it's a sign of something abnormal on my car or maybe the SB itself is bad

TIA

I also read the other night about making sure that your car is off for 10 min. prior to installing it so that the computer stops communicating.
