TW issues!

ok, i have a TW issue. Tow tune pulls like nothing you ever seen! AWESOME! i love the shifts. only one issue. if you are on country roads going up and down in speed and RPMS with curves, hills ect, when you get in the upper RPM ranges and let out when in second or first gear, it will drop RPMS to about 400 then try to regain to about 500 then die. i mean die cold in the road. only in tow. if you catch it and flip it to any other tune as soon as it get ready to die, she comes to life again. imma have to sen dit in i guess. this was the first time i had got to use tow much. what do you think the issue could be?

do you ever throw a cel? Sounds like when you let off your oil pressure cant keep up to the demand for a split second until you change the icp by switching the chip? Possible?
