GT500 rpm drop

Post by Mustangman3111 »

whats up with the delayed rpm drop after you tune the 2008 GT500's. even during normal driving when u get off the gas the rpms pause at 2000 for a couple seconds before slowly dropping back down to normal... any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

Please list all your mods, the tune used and the current revision on your Predator.

Thanks,

Gt500 Idle

Post by perfdyno »

Yeah I am having the same problem with the idle hanging. I thought it was because of the large whipple throttle body, but I am starting think maybe there is a software issue, as now I have another gt500 without the huge throttle body and it has a similar problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The K&N tune does not have enough fuel for the C&L intake. You need a custom tune to address that and the hanging idle. Contact me through the link in my email and I can take care of that for you.
