Hey Everybody -

I have a sportwerks Mayhem with the .26 on it. Strange thing happens with it. When I first start her up; she'll idle really fast and I'll run her around for about 5 minutes and the engine will be up to about 205 F or so. Anyway, after that happens, the idle will begin to decrease and sometimes will go so far down that the car will stall. The engine seems to be tuned correctly but I can't figure out why the idle decreases as I use the engine more?

Any insight on this?

its going to idle a little high at startup..just make sure its idled high enough at running temp to keep the car running without the clutch engaging
