Default Where would you set idle on this cam?

Here is the car:

2002 LS2 manual transmission.
Ported Throttle Body, smooth bellows, SLP Underdrive Pulley

Comp Cams shaft installed:
GRIND #: LS1 3767R /3753R HR114.0
GROSS VALVE LIFT .532 .535
DURATION @ .050 220.00 224.00
LOBE SEPARATION 114.0
ROCKER ARM RATIO 1.70

Dynatech SuperMAXX Header System {High-Flow Catalytic Converters & all oxygen sensors present.}

Assuming that you have everything dialed in, A/F ratio, timing correct, etc.
What rpm would you set the curb idle at?

Thank you!

No more than 900 rpms. My hotcam runs perfect at 900 rpms (very well tuned). Once you get everything buttoned down, try stock of 800 rpms, if it is too rough for you add 50 rpms, and if it isn't better try another 50. You should not need any more that 900 rpms with that cam.

Since that cam is small you could just about set it anywhere. Mine is set at 900 RPM. Yours could be set much lower.

ive got my f13 set at 800, 230/232 598/587 112+4, little bit of tuning and its ok, i still have more to do but the car idles steady there and the only other thing i did was put the idle airflow up for now by about a point or so in the higher temps and multiplied 400 800 and 1200 in the ve by .6 .7 .8, the car runs good and it sounds bad *** at 800 rpms lol
