But, 480 RPM IS pretty low. I wonder if it's enough to charge the battery at idle with the lights and accessories on? If not, I'd raise it. Most people have theirs in the 600-650 range.

I saw your post over on f150Online and was a bit puzzled by one member's statement that Bill said to have the max RPM 200 above the WOT shift points. Both Bluejay and I remember him saying 400 above. But, since Bill lives here, he can set us straight. I know 400 above works well for me except in the 3-4 shift, where it needs to be more (which is one reason I have my 3-4 shift down in the 4400-4500 range). When I had that shift point higher, I had to let off on the gas to help it through that shift.

The Edge manual does say put the max RPM 150 above the WOT shift points, but I think that's just plain wrong.

DO NOT raise the spark timing on any of your tunes unless you put in a higher octane gas than the tune was designed for.

Bluejay published the adjustments he did for when he was running canned Edge tunes. Once he got the custom tunes, he's left everything exactly as Bill has set it up except for the tires, he went to bigger ones after ordering his tunes.

Well let me better explain the idle issue. Coming to a stop at a slow speed ( 30mph to 5mph ) basically approaching a red light or stop sign, from the Gryphon readout it drops down to near 480 then varies in the low 500 - high 500, then acceleration is perfect, but it seems quite low for an idle in gear. I tried raising the idle before but it only let me increase it to 300rpm? Does that mean 300rpm overall? or 300rpm over the normal 600rpm? I dont understand how this works.

Thanks again Jack for the clarification, much appreciated
