I have been having this issue ever since i switched to a full ethanol tune. I have a stage 3 bucketless setup, mmp port injection, 60# ls3 injectors, 6266bb, on3. manual boost controller
When i first switched to the e85 tune, i had a stage 2 pump and the port injection installed. when i am in a cruise, and sometimes from a standing start, the engine bucks and sputters whenever i get on the throttle. whenever i am cruising and i get on the gas, the engine will buck and sputter before it finally "gathers" itself and downshifts and accelerates. when my bucketless bracket and second walbro 450 came in, i wired it so that the new walbro 450 is the primary fuel pump and the older one i was already using in the stage 2 setup is the secondary one that turns on when i hit 15 psi. however this didnt change anything. i have a log of this happening. my tuner is confounded. to remedy i have tried, throttle body reset, lambda reset, lambda regulation reset, octane reset, new high pressure fuel pump, new index 12 injectors, some new revisions on the tune, same issue pops up.
runs fantastically with no timing pulls or throttle closure at WOT. this issue for some reason does not pop up when pulling a log for the tuner despite the fact that 2500 rpm is kinda of low for 3rd gear start on a non twin scroll setup.
it most often happens when i am cruising down the street at 35-45 mph in D5 and i give it about say 50% throttle to pass someone. the car will sputter for 2-3 seconds and then the downshift will occur and the car will run just fine like nothing ever happened.
knowing that the car does this when pushing the throttle when cruising in high gear, i started a log before i did just that

since im auto, i dont know whats making my engine do this instead of the auto merely downshifting and driving normally. i did get the transmission replaced before this tune, and it did not happen on my old pump gas tune from EMP
