LS1 stock idle What is the stock idle for a 1999 camaro ss. Its a 6spd! Mine is about 650ish when warm. Is that normal. The car kinda seems to have vibrations after it warms up.

Oh ok. I need to connect a scanner to see the actual rpms. The car feels fine until it warms and I hear like a fan turn off. Then the rpms drop a bit and the car is a little bit shakier. I want a scanner that reads rpms, misfires, pretty much everything. What do you guys recommend?

No, that is not normal. It should be 800, if the stock tuning is still in place. As I stated above, don't trust the stock tach - hook up a scanner if you want to be 100% sure. I'm still using an old version of AutoTap from about 10 years ago on a laptop from about 15 years ago...they both still work, so I just keep using them.
