According to my timing light, idle in park is 920-ish, 780 or so in drive.....The rev up is to 3500 RPM.

Enjoy!

Mac equal length shorties & H-pipe, Borla XR1 lers dumped before the rear axle.  2.5" pipe.

I should add -- that was a dead cold startup.

That's a nice cold start, That improved on mine to. the e-cam I had would never idle on it's own when it was cold. did you make it idle that high?. I'm right at 800rpm it was set that way for the E-cam, I want to try and lower it . Good job sounds good.

Yeah I put the idle there.  MY issue was actually a hot start.  It will stay running, but will hunt if I go too much lower.  I could probably drop it 50 RPM....
