Any thoughts on how to electronically hold the idle speed at an elevated RPM for drag race launching? I'd like to just flip a switch at the start line and have the idle jump up to a steady 2200 RPMS or so (my car has a 3200 stall convertor). I'd turn the system off after the finish line so as to not disrupt the engine management during the run. The 4x4 jeep guys have several products like this, mostly used for winch operation (the higher idle keeps the battery charging even with the high electric winch load).

My second thought is to route a hose after the MAF to an intake manifold location after the throttle body. Basically bypassing the throttle body, like the IAC does. An inline solenoid valve could be opened or closed at the flip of a switch, bringing more air to the engine. The computer will add fuel to raise the idle speed. The goal is to leave the line near the same RPM on each run. Maybe I just need more practice with the right foot...
