Hmmm, mine's closer to 1100...that's what it was set at during the tune at MTI. I've been thinking about lowering it to 800 or so. Can that be done via a Diablo, HPP3, or one of the other programmers without screwing up the tune too much? Will it bring out more lope in the idle?

Question

Any additional input on this? I see a lot of A4 cam cars idling in the 750-900 range. For those of us miles and miles from any LS1-competent shop, is there any way to drop it from 1100 down to 800-850 or so without significantly affecting the tune?
