M6 guys with cams...where do you set your idle at? There's something to be said for a car loping at idle, it's the whole reason why I got a cam and all the other stuff to begin with. My idle currently is at 850, but that still sounds a little too high for me...how low can you set it before it starts causing problems?

That 224 isn't gonna have a super hard lope. And you'll really hurt low-speed drivability if you turn your idle down too low. It'll be a total pain in the butt to drive when driving in parking lots.

I don't know if it's the same on all f-bodies but I installed an autometer digital tach and it always reads 100rpm higher than the stock gauge cluster. So maybe you could lower it 100rpm

I also have a torquer v2 with the idle at about 1k. I also think it's a little high, but it makes it easier to drive around with the spec stage 3 clutch.
