Default What Affects Idle Mostly?

On high hp FI cars what affects idle mostly? Is it injector size? Assuming this is a stock motor (stock cams) what else would affect idle?

I finished my k24 swap into my EG a few weeks ago and I'm just now starting to research FI because that's the route I will be heading in next summer.

Basically I'm looking for a setup that will be very streetable on low-medium boost (9-10psi).

This was just one question that popped into my mind, that's all.
