Default Can I make a 224/230 @ 114 Idle without tuning?

I have a customer who wants to put a 224/230, .581 @ 114 XE-R compcam that he has in his 02 ws6, with heads, headers, hypertech bolt-ons exhaust etc.

the 220/224 that is in the car idles smooth right now.

We drilled the throttle body hole already and it idles at 800.

With this bigger cam can i drill the hole a little more and get it to idle around 900?

My cam is 224/230 .587/.593 114 and i was driving my car around with the stock tune for at least two months with no holes drilled in the TB. It used to search for idle for few sec until it finds it. After tunning the car is running like stock without drilling the TB. I guess its either drilling a hole in the TB or tunning the car.

That cam will idle fine @ 800. My old 230/230 110 cam idled perfectly with no tuning and a stock idle speed. That 114 LSA will barely lope...
