Default HOTCAM is in...trooper mod or drill TB?

It idles fairly well, but will stumble and stall on restart. On cold starts i have to feather the throttle for a few seconds to keep it running. I have only driven the car 100 miles do to weather, should i drill the throttle blade or adjust the idle screw? or leave it alone till the computer "learns" the idle?

Do a little bit of both. First the screw than the TB blade.

Thanks V6BIRD, thats what i was thinking. I just didn't know if one of the mods would work without doing the other. <img src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" border="0" alt="[judgement]" />

For example lid,hotcam,SLP-LT's,cats+exhaust
I have the throttle blade drilled 15/64
I also have a .022" shim ontop of the FACTORY
set idle stop screw.

It works great for me..
