Default Proper EFILive idle speed adjustment question

Can I drop my idle speeds with EFI Live without compromising my whole tune? Cam is a 218/227 .600/.600 112+2 with -1.5 overlap so nothing massive. Im going to pull the flash tonight and see exactly what idle speeds are set at. Was going to buy my SS3600 but, life happened and I was in the hospital earlier this year and wife just had a baby. Cant really swing the converter quite yet.

Idle tuning tutorial in link below. IMO, purchase the manual. In it are tutorials using EFI Live and HP tuners.

Search for Chopper Doc in this forum or on YouTube. His tutorials are step by step as well.

Ill take a peek at those. My experience over the years has only been toying with spark, transmission tables and other little settings. Havent messed with idle speeds yet. Car has already been fully tuned for my cam I just want to experiment with idles.
