This sounds like torque management...it's like trying to do a brakestand with full throttle...it doesn't really let the truck go full power at first (you usually need to start about half throttle and then roll more into it). I have noticed that when running a 65 hp tune vs an 85 hp tune. Your tranny is slipping a little bit more at the higher setting than the lower setting. I'm not sure about our trucks having the same torque management as the gassers, but I have too noticed this with my truck. I love the way it pulls without even really getting on the throttle...that is why most guys say just to roll into it when taking off.
