Since we installed our dyno in the spring, we've been working diligently to bring our customers the latest advancements in custom tuning. One feature frequently asked for is the ability add a High Idle setting to a standard calibration in order to use the chip's positions to their full capacity (and not "waste" a position with a singular function program such as High Idle). High Idle programs are useful for faster warm-ups, keeping the A/C cold during extended idle periods, PTO applications (tow trucks), or to help keep the electrical system charging in high-demand applications (emergency vehicles). One major concern surrounding
conventional High Idle programs is the potential loss of vehicle control due to the fixed elevated RPMs, which is why we had recommended limiting High Idle programs to 1,200 RPMs.
With our new
Automatic Idle Strategy, this issue is eliminated! By simply touching the brake OR throttle pedal, the vehicle will return to normal idle. Releasing the brake will restart the delay counter; THIS FUNCTION ONLY WORKS WHEN THE TRUCK IS IN PARK. Customers will have the option of adding an Automatic Idle Strategy to any standard or custom file (except Lope Idle and WhisperMode™), thus leaving all six positions available for other performance, tow, or "novelty" tunes. They can even choose parameters such as delay time and idle RPM when they place their orders.
The best part? This feature is available for chips
and programmers!
We will offer WhisperMode™ blended tunes in the near future.
CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF!
