Rpm's at 800

Shamrock · 12-03-2012, 11:09 AM

I have installed on my 2011 AT the stillen headers/cats, the akropovitch full system, and the k&n intakes. I also have a base tune from uprev. The car rpm is a little above the 500 line and is a little shaky. I've read that some of you have raised the rpm to 800 when tuning the car. Why is this? Will it reduce the shaking? Thanks

500 is pretty low, even for a stock car, where normal rpm (AC off) is about 650ish.

I would definitely suggest raising the idle.

My idle is at 800 RPM

Yeah 500 is low. I'd do 700-800.

Mine is @ 1100 (due to an issue with the intakes I have at the moment) just to get it smooth, haha!
