Default Cam engine Idle

I want to know what the best idle is for an A I cam 568' 569 lift would be. Should i just keep it a 1000rpm. Are what should i lower it to to get that distinctive rumble but without making the car struggle to stay started

The 'best' idle will depend on the whole build, but I'd say you'd be safe to make a jump down to 800. Then from there just adjust in increments of 50 rpms until you've reached what you want.

you'll need it all re-tuned to make sure it runs right, you can do it youself with a hypertek but if you have already had it tuned because your running a charger you dont want to wreck that. if the car itself runs right up the rev range under WOT i would leave it or get it done by a proper tuner
