My SS3 sounds like the second clip (link in my sig). The whole car shakes and shimmies at idle and I love that!
Listening to the link in your signature, I'd be willing to bet you have 2 degrees of over/underlap in your tune.

Do you have your tune file on hand?

sounds great, I'm not knocking it. I also have 2 degrees extra tuned in, but I think its easier to drive like that. i have a 110, so it helps with driveability.

Here is an interesting short clip I just posted on YouTube. I let myself get baited into a discussion on lope vs. fake-chop so I went out and took a quick stab at a "chop" idle tune. It could use some more work to really get it to have the aggressiveness of the more extreme ones I've heard, but on a first pass that pretty well encompasses the difference. Love to know what you think.

Too me you can tell the difference between the 2; the fake sounds about ready to cut off and the natural one well sounds natural - no cut off!!!

Would you screw a fake blow up doll? I hope not, you would get the real thing if you are a man.

If she carried a fleshlight? Quite possibly.

But I prefer the natural, irregular lope over the artificial.

I love the extra hard chop sound. My car however is not tuned to sound like that, this making it a smooth great idle.

I love my choppy idle and Im an old bastard. I also dont question anything Howard Tanner & Redline do. They wrenched & tuned my former Procharged 2010 2SS/RS and they Built & Tuned my current Redline Phase 4 ZL1.


Sounds mean & nasty at idle and has the power to back up the Bad Ass Sound.

My first tuner never told me anything about my tune. Now that I think about it my car has a lumpy idle for having a stock cam.
