Started the revolution? Built the market? What in the actual ***k are you talking about?

I see this thread going nowhere. Went from what could have been a discussion on idle quality of different tunes on a 7.3, to pointless "bashing" and "trash talking" for no reason. From what most likely has to do with previous beefs certain people have had with other certain people and or products. Then it gets derailed with someone who no one even knows coming in a claiming someones truck to be faster then anothers truck, and now theres the start of bickering about what diesel was the grand daddy of diesel performance. Joe your threads always seem to attract derailments. LOL

Joe, you have a 950 RPM high idle and a 750 normal idle? My Gearhead high idle is 1150 RPM. You could've kept it in high idle for more than a few seconds to show how they really perform.
Thats all I wanted to chat about...
I was impressed with the idle quality of the tunes I just loaded yesterday.

All in good fun. I'll see if a mod can clean it up and get joes thread back on track.

Its not a "high idle" persay. If you notice I am not changing tunes... After a few seconds the tune automaticly bumps up to 950-1000 RPM's, which is perfect for keeping the AC cold, the heat moving and brings the volts right up to 14v. When in drive it doesnt do this, only when it park...
Its pretty slick really. Matt didnt say anything about it when he sent the tune, and when it first did it I thought something was wrong.

Think Joe is moving towards the fact that the tuner of choice for (most) p-pump owners is a 8mm socket and die grinder.
And 7.3's were the first engine where performance (tuning wise) was controlled electronically, the predecessor to CR so to speak.
At least that's my read.
Exactly...
The 7.3 moved the industry from backwoods crap into an electronic age...
But none the less...

That does sound pretty slick. I'll be sending my chip back to Matt in a couple of weeks for a reburn, so maybe I can get this instead of the "whisper"?
EDIT: I wonder if it can be programmed with a time delay or a time delay relay installed for stop and go traffic. TPS at 0% for X amount of time with truck in D, for example. That would be very nice.

I dont think I would do that. If it were in drive and your foot was not fully planted... Bad things could happen.
Yes, pulling a slight hill coming out of the valley...
Flat land at 75 pulling I normally sit about 850-900*... I'm hoping this new wheel will drop that a bit, if not I will throw the 17cm housing back on.

oke:is that a 15K trailer or ~23K gross? Looks like a nice tow setup and the injectors do sound good. Even with my 60 tow file, I dont think I'd see any lower than 10-1100 with similar weight and it would be slower. My setup gets by, but the 42 needs rpm.

Matt's tunes by far have the best idle there is out there. It's a perfect balance of smoothness and haze from the tail pipe. Of course I have 200% nozzles, so I didn't expect perfection, but it's damn close. It idles just as good as it did stock.

That automatic high idle is pretty slick.
And no, you wouldn't want it to come on when in gear. I bumped mine to high idle accidentally pulling into the driveway one day...almost needed a new garage door. Let's also in theory of course...say that 1100 rpm is juuuust enough to propel a unmanned ccsb 250 with loaded enclosed car trailer in tow through your yard and into a light pole if you jump out and say...forgot to make sure it's in park. ***er scoots for only 1100rpm lol.

Umm... Are you speaking from experience on this one? Seems a little too specific for just a theory.
It definitely is a weird feeling to have it in high idle in drive. I just tried it just to see and that lasted about 2 seconds. Not fun.

I love the hell out of high idle driving. When its cold out. I high idle in drive out of the neighborhood. It Rolls @ 20 mph and gives me about 5 min of warm-up.
Also use it cruising down back dirt roads hunting.
