Default Idle and temp in LS1-edit

The idle table in my LS1-edit program is higher at negative temperatures and decreases at the temperature decreases. When the weather is cooler outside the car idles either erratic or at a couple hundred rpm high. Would it hurt anything to put the same value all the way across the table? Just curious because the car doesn't have any trouble idling at a lower rpm.

I have mine set at all the same rpms from about 0* on up. It's been just fine for me. But I'm not using a stock idle rpm, I'm a couple hundred above stock for the cam...

won't hurt. Most people like a cold idle to be higher, especially with a big cam.

I was just curious. It seems really high at idle when its cold. The stock a4 idle was around 550 or so and now I have an m6 program since I installed the th400. The stock was around 800 and 800-850 is fine even with the size of my cam. Thanks for the info guys.
