Define rough idle?
My car is cammed, and it runs like a cammed car....a tad rougher. Last night I saw my buddies car again for the first time, his car is stock except for a STS turbo system. I was shocked how smooth that thing runs, I had already forgotten how smooth these cars run stock.
So if your engine doesn't run smooth to the point that you hardly see it rocking back and forth, then I'd have it looked at.

no the car doesnt move but while your sitting in it..you can feel it a lil bit..i think its because my car is idling at 500rpms..my tuner hasnt retuned it after the stall install and he said that sometimes you have to bump the idle up after a converter install for some reason..i dono..ill try this and see if thats it..but i do need to change the plugs..im sure there stock concidering the wires look as if they have never came off..and the car has about 75k miles..
