240/240 .630. 113 lsa. Underdriven balancer/pulley.

Mine is usually set to 850 or 900. Cam is a Vindicator - so 24x duration @ ~600 lift.

Just for fun, we dropped the commanded idle to 600. My tune held up it's end of the deal. The alternator wasn't too happy though. :lol:

234/240, 112lsa - 870rpm.

NoGo May 14, 2012 11:48 AM

224/232 114 LSA.... (something like that).

It idles at 800 then up to 1100 then back to 800, then back up to 1100, then back to 800..... j/k. It idles at 800 when hot.

Depends on the cam and setup. Some setups are just cranky and need to be idled a little higher.

Cold start mine is around 1100, hot is 950rpm, I wouldn't mind it down around 800-850. I have a nelson tune. LS6 with a 220/224 .575/.575 on a 112LSA.

Wicked94Z May 15, 2012 06:30 AM

I'll play! 267/272 .695/.698 110lsa. Likes a 980 rpm idle but no lower makes 4.5" of vacuum.. 1300 at cold start, runs E85 that's kind of grumpy cold.

Compressor Surge May 15, 2012 03:46 PM

Comp 228/230 .571/.573 112LSA
LQ4

800 rpm warmed up

Nemesis350 Jun 7, 2012 11:29 PM

just felt like adding to this... please don't make fun of my cam LOL

T-ReX v.2 - 242/248 - .608/.612 - 110 lsa , cold start around 1100, at temp around 950. I'm thinking about dropping idle a little

redtail2426 Jun 9, 2012 08:38 AM

i have a 228/230 .571 .573 112 and right now i have mine set at 850 hot and it runs perfect.but with the new rolling idle tables in hptuners i could probably get it to idle perfect at 650,i might play around it and see,but im pretty confident in it working great

G5X2 -232/240 .595/.609 112+4 Stock displacement LS, Melrose headers, 2.5" duals with x-pipe
Right now the idle is set at 925, still learning to tune the thing.

cyipher Jun 10, 2012 10:11 AM

I reset my idle to 850 and my car seems to like that better coming back down to idle when stoping didnt surge once, it only surged once in a blue moon before that.

Leeroyws6 Jun 10, 2012 10:24 AM

298/301 .595lift 1000rpm cold about 900 normal operating temp. oops mines an a4.so thats in park. in gear its about 850-900

slow ride 02 Dec 17, 2014 09:59 PM

Two year bump!

224/224 800 RPM. I think that 650 RPM would be better.
