What are your IAC counts when the car is fully warmed up?

You might also want to check LTIT's and STIT's at lower engine coolant temp points. It may be as simple as adjusting your RAF table, inthe lower ECT columns.

It takes quite a bit with a good sized cam. With my cam, I think I went 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%. Note that I did the first four columns, not just the first three. That's another thing you have to do with the bigger cams.

No, no, I mean multiply that part of the table by 0.8 so there is 80 % left.
