Default Slow acceleration with Lextreme TC

So this is what happened - I always had the slow acceleration before 2500 RPM, I did a lot of research and I realized that the Lextreme TC might fix it - A lot of people gave good feedback on it (except for one guy who said that it didn't change anything really)

In my case, after installing the Lextreme TC, the only thing that changed is actually the jerkiness of the gear shifting - Even when I put my gear from P to Drive, you can feel a push and a jerk that wasn't there before.

My acceleration is still EXACTLY THE SAME -

when flooring the pedal from full stop, the tachometer needle would jump straight to 1800 RPM then stalls a little there and you can actually still hear the engine RORING louder between 1800 and 2200, then it goes normal.

I am thinking it's one of two things:
1- Lextreme TC is nothing but a refurbished stock SC400 TC
2- My issue lies somewhere else: tune up, gas filter, VAF, AFM -


I read a lot of topics about slow acceleration and hesitation - I have a trillion ideas in my head now - But ever since I started mod'ing the car, my pocket's been bleeding

any feedback would be extremely useful!!

Thanks

Yeah I know, Dave is a fine guy

Alright, so what I did is the following: disconnected the AFM plug and the car runs great - I still am not sure about the stall RPM
