Default How high can I raise the idle?

On a stock converter. Right now it's at 650rpm with the blade drilled 13/64. IAC's are all over the place. The cam is a 226/221 114. I'm stalling out when going into reverse. I shimmed the idle screw to 700mv tps which helped a lot until the pcm re-learned back to 650.

your best bet with your setup is too stop messing around with the little things on how to raise your idle and just get ls1 edit and raise it through edit....

trust me, you'll be glad you did it. plus theres a million other things you can do with edit if you ever decide down the road to enhance your setup.

just my .02

ls1 edit, with a touch of the button, your idle is raised as high as you want.

The shop that did the install raised it from 550 to 650 (in gear) through edit. For now I'm still on the stock verter and was wondering how much higher it could be raised?

When you raise the idle with Edit, do you also need to drill the TB to get your IACs down around 30-40, or do you not have to worry about it with Edit?
