Talking Update!!!

I just figured out something that will help everyone thats having the rough idle problem. I know a lot of you bought the version 2 piggy because you can use 89 octane but thats exactly whats causing the rough idle.
I only know of two maps so far so heres the results with different octanes and maps.

89 Octane w/ "smoother idle map" = slight misfiring at idle and randomly dips to 200-300

89 Octane w/ "rougher idle map" = more misfiring at idle and rpm dips to 200-300 much more frequently
92 Octane w/ "smoother idle map" = never tried this combination yet

92 Octane w/ "rougher idle map" = unnoticeable misfiring at idle and rpm NEVER dips to 200-300
The last one is the one that im currently using now. This combination has the most power in my opinion. The power comes on much earlier than the smoother idle map and there is very little engine movement. The power and smoothness while driving is worth the extra ten cents at the pump. Hope this helps some of you.

ver interesting, I may need to try a fill up of 92/93 next time I have a chance and see if the misfire is still there or as noticible. Also if there is more power it may be worth it, but I may make a stock map to load up if gas keeps going up like it has been. eek! keep up the good work, I want to see some more of these maps haha.

This is interesting, I think I am going to try this out, I have the map for the smoother idle but i think i want to try to use the rougher idle map with the 92 octane and see if i get simialr results, It would be great if i do but I have an auto so I don't know if I will get the same results because my idle has been gettin really rough lately in the cold nights.
