Re: how smooth does your ls1 idle? Mine idles pretty smooth, as far as vibration. The idle speed does tend to vary since the addition of the ST3500 a while back.
Heck, I had a '68 Chevelle that would shake you up,and had a classic loping idle,solid lifter cam that would intimidate the devil, but wouldn't hold a candle performance-wise to this LS1 (I rebuilt a 327 HP in '78 for that Chevelle).
Plus I don't have to adjust the lifters / rockers every week.

Re: how smooth does your ls1 idle? Mine idles smooth, I have 2700 miles. But it seems to idle a bit low, about 500 in gear, according to the factory tach.

Re: how smooth does your ls1 idle? 1999 30th with 14k miles is pretty smooth but it is a M-6. 98Z with 70k miles is a littl bit rougher, but not to bad at all.
