Surging with chip

Just wanted to make sure this is a normal condition. I just installed a Diablo Delta on my 2001 F-250 V-10 this weekend, and when test driving in the performance mode it would surge when trying to lightly apply the throttle. I like the obvious increase in throttle response, but when driving slowly in a parking lot unloaded, this jerking everytime I touch the throttle got a little annoying. Is this normal or should I be concerned there is a problem.

What's your last name (PM me if you don't feel comfortable putting it in the forum)? Let me know and I'll take a look at what we coded.

Surging with chip

Donnell, purchased on Feb. 27th. Also I do not know if this matters but the truck has been back to the dealer once since I have had it and I do not know if they flashed the computer or not. The repairs they did would not have required them to do anything around the engine, but who knows?

Surging with chip

I show IWG0 as your code. Sounds like there's a chip issue. Give us a call. We'll arrange to send another chip with a shipping return box (pre-paid so it costs you nothing) for your convenience.
