Rev hanging=annoying!
So I've had my car for almost a month now and have noticed that it has this really annoying rev hang thing going on when shifting (5sp M). Actually the rpm's will rise slightly when the clutch is engaged and then hang there for a few seconds. This makes for a jerky shift not to mention sounds like a student driver learning to drive a stick.
I have done some research and found that this may have been programmed by ford for emission reasons to burn up fuel when the throttle is closed quickly. I have also read that it can be mostly corrected with a custom tune although most threads I have found where for either older models or 11+.
My question is what have other 2010 gt owners noticed and done to correct it? I was going to eventually get a custom tune after a few bolt ons but may have to go with a tune first as this is driving me nuts.
Love the forum, I find myself reading through threads for hours at a time!

Very strange that it does that. I've had two 06's and now this 11 and none have done that. I'm wondering if your throttle body may be dirty or something else might be going on because that definitely doesn't sound normal.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help, hopefully you get it worked out.

I suspect it's normal for the OE tune unless the TB needs cleaning. A custom tune should resolve that in addition to the added RWHP and improved throttle response.

That's what I have been hearing, it is an emission thing that supposedly burns up excess fuel when the throttle is closed abruptly. I had a civic si a few years back that did a similar thing. Honda had so many complaints about it they issued a TSB that was a reflash that reduced it so I was almost livable.
Good to know a custom tune may take care of it.

My 2013 GT use to do it when it was stock, it went away after it was tuned. Besides the every so often if I am sitting at idle it will bounce up then go back down but I think that's normal always did that too. I did notice after I had turning done you can smell fuel at bit more as I guess its running richer.
