Default Do I have to drill the throttle blade with this cam?

I'm going to have my TR 220/220 .561/.561 114 LSA cam installed next week, and I was wondering if my car would have any surging or stalling problems, if I don't drill the throttle blade, to raise the idle speed?

The reason I don't want to raise the idle speed at all, is because I would like my car to atleast have a little bit of a lope at idle.

By the way, according to the cam pro plus sheet that Thunderracing sent me, the final specs for my cam are 220.7/220.4 .553/.553 113.6 LSA. With those specs, do you guy's think that my car will have even a little bit of a lope running through my SLP LT headers, HF cats, and SLP LOUDmouth exhaust? Even at the stock 800 RPM idle?

Thanks <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

drilling comes from the lsa 112 cams that
overlap real bad.

Well just as an example I have a 226/236 .525/.525 110lsa cam in my car and I did not need to drill mine at all. It holds idle very very well.
