Whose got the smoothest idling MS3 cam? Just curious to hear some videos or sound clips of how smooth people are getting these to idle. I installed mine over the weekend and just basically bumped the idle up some to get it to stay running. It still idles pretty rough and I know I have a ways to go, but I'd like to hear what to shoot for. Mine is also on 113 lsa so I'm thinking I should be able to get it on the smoother side of others out there.

Mine we had to bump the idle up to 1100 RPM as it was having idling issues (mostly due to the hardness of being a 98 to tune), and it sounds pretty smooth, but at that idle, who's wouldn't.
Here's a clip of the initial startup though;

Mine wouldnt even idle w/o help on the stock tune, but it was in the 40s out so that may have something to do with it.

Figure the smoothest idle could be obtained with an ITB setup. Good luck getting them tuned without you wanting to drop kick a few baby seals in the process.

here is a even larger 248 254 and it idles pretty smooth at 1100 rpm and has never died in traffic. it's all in the tuner / builder I guess!!!!!

I didn't get the cam for a smooth idle, but I want it to idle as smooth as it can. So far I've had great results from the tune, its idling excellent at around 1000, and will even idle at 400 rpms
