Default How low can I put my idle?

My car idles at like 1000-1050 now, and I have artificially lowered my idle down to 900 with a TechII and it sounded badass.

Think I can get my car to idle at 900 or what?

Link to mods is in sig, but I have a 242/242/114 cam in a 422ci motor.

John,I would leave it at the 1000-1050. That is where my car idles and I have no problems. I too wanted to lower mine to about 950-1000, but then I thought, why screw up a good thing. LOL
