and also, what rpm is the high idle set to?
If you purchase a custom tuned chip from us, then yes, you would only pay for a five-position chip if you opted for a stock calibration on one of the levels. As far as diagnosing a potential engine problem, you could always simply remove the chip; however, if that's one of your settings, you could just dial it in instead of having to go through the process of accessing the PCM.

Our high idle is set to 1100 rpm.

On the phone Friday night, a new customer asked us how we could charge such a low price. I'll PM you with the answer.

Hi there,

We still have to pull SmokeShow off the video camera, but here's the video we shot with the digital camera on Saturday of WhisperMode, which we consider a standard tune:

That's cheating! Its a split motor
How close to that vid can a single shot get? (sound wise)

You can load up the generic codes, and tweak as you learn
It comes with a manual that tells you what each item is, and what it does.

According to Bill, it would be pretty close. Something else to keep in mind is that since the single shot injectors are louder to begin with, the difference between the normal programs and WhisperMode™ would be more dramatic than with split shots.

We actually made a post on our forum with videos of Whisper Mode™ AND our High-Idle if you'd like to check them out. As soon as we find a spare half hour, we'll get SmokeShow™ off the other camera and onto the web.

PHP Whisper Mode™ and High-Idle Videos
