I have had a scoobysport downpipe on my P1 for over 6 months covering about 8k miles and all seems well, however when accelerating to the redline HARD I get occassional jerks forward and cuts in power but only when really hammering it.

Will a rolling road tune from PE make sure that I don't get any det problems as this is something I am seriously considering?

Cheers

Si
