That's an interesting thought. I can control the ECU, but I don't currently have an idle control. That would be another reason to add one, though.

Or an idle adjust switch that I can set on the start line? Flip to "idle" at 3k rpm, might let enough air in to significantly reduce engine braking? Similar effect to holding the throttle cracked... Right now the cup motor has very high tech idle control- a screw.
