mine does. even when it was untuned it would idle cold. don't get me wrong it would surge for a bit, then settle down. with the car tuned, when it starts, it idles at about 1300 & drops to 900 rpm after about a minute.

I think you have a good tune on your car thats prob. the reason.
I heard you pull off last night, and that thing sound's great. can't wait to see what that thing will do. (7.20's@92) Past Times prediction.

Default Ms4

I daily drove mine for a year and a half and didn't have to feather the gas. Starts right up and will idle by itself, its all in the tuning.

I have had a ms4 in both of my cars and I had 2 a 233/239 before I put the ms4 in my car now and I love the ms4 after comparing I took it down to 45-50 in sixth gear and it didn't jump forward at all it idles better than the other cam and I got 24.4X mpg driving from bakersfield to LA car does great dd I couldn't be happier with a smaller
cam and it drives smooth(besides the choppy idle, but still isn't that bad)

4k stall here with the ms4..

its all in a good tune.

No probelms here, can even start it in the dead of winter after 3 months of sitting without even thinking of touching the throttle.

We just finished my ms4 swap last night, fired right up every time untuned, would surge a little bit but never died once.

you need to get one from a reputable tuner. Research carefully so you can get it done right the first time.
