Question Will a 222/226/.566/.569/114 have a good idle?

I have an 02 M6. Will my car shake at idle? I was looking at a custom comp cam 222/226/.566/.569/114. What would my idle and gas mileage be affected by with that cam? How about the GM hotcam?

It will lope more than the GM hot cam does....when you start getting into the upper 220's and lower 230's for duration, thats where your doors start to shake when left open...

I had that problem w/the X1...

I would think that the slight split in duration would make it idle a bit rougher than an even intake/ exhaust duration cam.

Get a TR224 on a 114. You can't go wrong with that.

I had that same exact comp cam some time ago. Made around 375rwhp with all the bolt-ons. Didn't need tuning out of the box, only a rev limiter bump. Had some lope but nothing extreme. Car didn't shake like the hotcam.
