lowest idle with 224 cam?

whats the lowest idle people have gotten with their auto and 224 cam? on startup itll idle down to 600 or so and sounds awesome. after a few seconds its jumps up to the 900 and stays there.

A buddy of mine has the Lunati 224 on 112 and his idles at 675, sounds awesome. I am getting my cam tuned this mon at TEA, I hope I can get mine to idle somewhere around the 700 mark for that lope!!

I had it idle at 800 but moved it up to 850 to eliminate the shake. With a poly motor mount, you could do 750 with that cam on a 114 easy.

does the car shake really bad when it idles around 700-750 rpms with a cam? i might be installign the 224/228 cam i have at my house (still waiting to see final cost and budget) i was thinking i want that nice lopey sound but if its gonna rattle the **** out of me, i much rather go for a regular idle and just enjoy the sound of the cam throughout the rpms
