Idle Question
I have a superchips cortex and have been wondering about raising my idle. What are the pros and cons of doing this?

Re: Idle Question
I don't see any advantage unless you had a seriously modded engine with huge cams that is optimized for high engine speeds. A con would be worse mileage.

Re: Idle Question
Only pro I can think of is if you have a large draw on your alternator from stereo or other equipment, then you could bump the idle up so the alt is putting out more amps to power everything. This would only apply when you're actually idling in park. I see no reason to have a higher idle with every-day driving, while stopped at lights the higher idle is going to do a good job of heating up your trans and that's not a good thing.
