Mine kicked in for the first time on Friday (temp in the low 90sF). Thought it was pretty cool! Came off the instant I touched the clutch. What's not to like?

When you're at a stop light, you want to listen to your new Stage II cam lope, not some bad tune POS.

Seriously! On the rare occasion it kicks in, I'm happy to know the engine's doing what it was designed to do.

Cruise Control is not necessary. No need for dealer to activate/deactivate, works running or not.

LOL! I'll take a cooler engine and longer engine life over cool sounding lumpy idle!

I turned mine off, but I rarely have any traffic lights etc. that would have me stopped for more than a minute. Easy enough to turn on if you see you'll be sitting a while.
