Default M6 guys w/ cams... what do you idle at?

Just curious what the general public sets their idle at after their cam swap... and how hard does it lope?

Got an M12 with the G5X3 112LSA and idle is set at 950, and it has a nice coppy idle.
Once you turn the A/C on it can get pretty roudy

a/c off - 900rpm
a/c on - 950


G5X4 cam (240s dur, 111 lsa)

Lopes and shakes, uh yeah.

I tried 850, and although I can get it to idle there, it hunts and fluctuates a bit too much...it seems to like settling in at 900, where it's very stable.

Few others I know with this cam are idling at 1k+
