This is the one point I would argue about. Fenton has found that having the system set to run at low level when not engaged does not drain the batteries and by the nature of the beast puts a very slight amount of pressurization on the system that makes a noticeable improvement in throttle response. Plus we are trying to keep the install as affordable and simple as possible. We want to avoid adding any more hardware than is absolutely necessary.
If we can figure out an affordable way to use existing electronics (Unichip?) rather than reinventing the wheel, that would make sense too.
