I done a cam swap in nnbs 5.3 and i was wondering where to set my idle at in park/neutral and in gear?...right now i believe its around 450-500 rpms in park and a lil higher in gear. I just wanna get it close untill i can take it and get a professional tune...

 

As low as you can get it without it stalling on you. Hell I'd have my truck idle at 300 rpms if I could get it to run at that low of RPMS.

 

I set mine to 800.

 

I see alot of people running at 750

 

For a cam that small you should be able to get it down to 600. I have a 224/224 on 112 lsa and idle is set to 700

 

exactly...can you believe my 'tuner' has my baby cam idling at 650?

 

Whats wrong with idling @ 650?

 

its just excessive RPMs being turned...yes, its a "safe" idle nonetheless, but there was no need in it when it idled perfectly at 600. just didnt see the absolute NEED for it.

 

whats 50 more rpms?

 

50 more RPMs but what do I know? I dont drive an overcammed 4.8 so I lack credibility.

theres no need in adjusting the idle when it idled perfectly is my point. Its an "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" kind of thing IMO.
