High idle reads about 550 to 600 degrees pre turbo on mine but thats at outside temp of 55 to 65 degrees F ambient air temp. Goes a bit higher if hotter outside but not much. This winter will find out if it keeps it over 400 when idling at -40.

My truck reads about 325-375 depending on outside temps. Doesn't seem to raise it that much, but anything helps.

Thanks for the replies. I set at 400 degrees at normal idle w/ the a/c off. High idle bumps it up 70-100 degrees. Just trying to get an average
