You guys don't let you engine warm up regardless of the tune? I thought it was common practice to let your motor heat up .

Waste of gas. Car will warm up faster while it's driving, and the transmission will also warm up while moving, not while sitting still. just don't hammer on the car until it's at operating temps

depends on your fuel too, i run E85 and i have to let it warm up a little bit because that stuff does not like to burn when the engine is cold. If you are gonna drive around with it cold, stay out of boost and keep the RPM's down untill it hits Operating Temperature.

Hmm. Maybe after my tune tomorrow this will be a pointless comment, but, I notice the times I do have to leave in a hurry the car is sluggish until at operating temp, but when I let it idle for about ~5 mins that's non existent. How about shut down. Is it absolutely vital to let the car sit for a few mins? Get annoying coming home at night and waking the neighbors with a cammed evo with straight pipe.
