[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 16160998, member: 9628"] ^^^Yes, happened to my 2008 from time to time, especially when it was a little cooler outside. I lived with it for the last 10 years, it was a little bit embarrassing to pull up to a traffic light in a Torch Red Super Snake with a full 3" exhaust and be revving well beyond idle rpm. I finally decided to call Kenne Bell (the people who made the S/C and provided the tune to Shelby) and ask about it, there have been several T.B. revisions since my car came back from Shelby/Las Vegas in early 2009 and also some tune updates. I was in touch with Jim at KB, he set me up with the latest tune (which I have not added yet) and I had a spare dual 75mm updated to the latest V9. So far I have installed the T.B. only and drove my car about 60 miles each way to a car show at Sea World Orlando yesterday, it had no problems with hanging idle. Next I am going to update the tune and add a GIMME 5 CAI next. Does your car still have the MAFia installed? I believe (but am not positive) that the newest tune will also be 750hp, my original was 725. Jim at Kenne Bell is very helpful and it was kind of my fault for not pursuing this earlier, but the car runs so well, that an occasional high idle was not a big concern for me, plus the fact that I just turned over 1350 original miles yesterday, the car does not get out often. I knew I should investigate it further, it just took a while for me to do it..... R [/QUOTE]
