Just do a search on You Tube for a lope tune, should be a bunch.

Sorry I did not take any videos of mine, just tried it for a few seconds and it has not been on the chip since.

That can't happen unless you have a really slow responding IPR. The PCM is able to correct idle speed and adapt to too low or high ICP to maintain a good idle.

The key is to KEEP the PCM and IPR from being able to "catch up" with the desired ICP.

The state of the HPO system is going to determine how fast the lope occurs.....and it's not just a choppy idle like other folks' "lope tunes". It's an actual ROMP.

so there is no way to really make the romp more apparent? then what about smoothing it out to sound like a 6.0 or cummins like a more constant?

I think it will take some toying around with to get the desired effect.

yeah for the lope I tryed what you were saying I pretty much had my graph look like the one you showed me but it kind of romped a bit more but almost seemed just like a rough idle or cold start type idle. I tryed droping the idle down to 550 and it seemed to help but not much at all. so now i am going to try and play with a loader smooth idle like the 6.0 what would i change to make it loader? advance timming? or start of injection?
