Default Idle question

Sooooo... I installed my cam about a month or so ago, and wanted to bump up my idle a little bit so that it doesnt stall out at a light. I bumped it up to 750 RPMs, but now when the car is in "drive" I guess having a load on the engine took away the choppy idle. When I first had the cam in, it was either at 600 or 650 RPMs. If I were to drop it to 725 or even 700 RPMs, do you think I'd have a problem with it stalling out? On the stock idle tune, it only stalled out a few times ever.

What do you guys think? The way my car sounds is very important to me, sooo I wanted to hear a little more cam lope.

Cam Specs are 222/224/112

well, you can always try it out.... a stalling idle won't blow anything up. Some VE tuning should allow you to go as low as you need/want to.
