Setting rpms for Demos/Competition?


Recommended Posts

Not sure if this should go in electrical or engine, but anyways: I notice that my voltage doesn't drop at all once I'm around 1600-1800 rpms, and thought about how at comps people always seem to lock their rpms somewhere in that neighborhood, but I searched around a little bit and couldn't find anything and have no idea how to do that, cause I'm sure setting the cruise control while in park is a no-no. If it helps, I have a 99 Chevy Blazer automatic.

Cable throttle? You can just adjust the screws to raise the idle to where you want. Then set it back when you're done

If its throttle by wire maybe talk to a tuner. Get a second PCM and have them raise the idle just for the comps. So you swap out pcms when you get there and swap back before you leave..or maybe email a company that does tunes and see if they can thin of a way. Thers a guy i know with the same truck as me that has two pcms one for towing one for Daily. He ahd PCM for less do one and bought it flat out..no core exchange. He says he likes both and performance increase is nice too.

Yeah I never thought about that being used for performance too, but that makes a lot of sense

Ran into the cab...... you adjust to 2000, or whatever,.. lock it,.. bump your ish,.... and a quick return to stock...

Are you not allowed to use your foot to rev up the engine?

I mean I've only competed once, and at the time I just knew that volume up=louder haha. But that works fine for demos and such, just knew there had to be some other way.
