I was talking to a guy at a recent meet, and he was saying how his car had a cam, but he had no idea what cam, since his car came like that. Well when he started it up, it sounded really good. Not a really choppy idle, but good. When I looked at his gauges, his car was idling at the normal rpm's. (just above 500)

Is it possible to have a cam, and yet still have the same RPM's at idle? Even with a baby cam?

Yes... you can set any cam to any RPM you want really but it probably wont run worth a **** if you go too low.

Well for instance, what size cam would he be able to set to stock idle rpm's and still run good? something like an LS2 cam?

I had a 236/240 idling in a LS2 at 700... I wouldn't recommend it but it can be done. You can pretty much run any size cam at anything above 500rpm if you know what you're doing tuning wise.

running a Leonoty (yes I know I can not spell) cam 231/237 295/298 112

my car starts cold/hot ac on/off from outside/inside with no problem
hunts for idle 500/800 for 5-8 seconds then idle great at 700/725 rpm in D/P
with a Good tune you can get low idle with a lot of chop ( lower the idle -more chop, I find if idle for a long time at low idle I smutt the plugs)

242/244 ona 112 and mines at 900 seems high but its not bad at all

my ms4 idles at around 600 cold for about 10 seconds and finds its way up to about 900 and it sounds plenty evil with lots of chop
