Default SOHCs with cams, springs etc...what do you idle at...

Right now I'm idling at 1100rpm, seems a little high but the guy I talked to from Crane said with my setup (Crane stage 1 cam, springs, titanium retainers) that I won't pull enough vacuum unless its up that high. If I try and idle at 1000rpm, it will occasionally take a **** when I put the clutch in and stall out.

So to all the other people with different cams etc in their SOHCs (really D16s, I don't care about the F22 guys ), what are you idling at? I'm not sure where the cam gear is set right now, but if its not 3 degrees advanced like they recommend, I'm going to bump it up and then see where that gets me.

I idle 800 with a cam, valvetrain and 1000cc injectors. Vacum shouldn't be a problem for you.

I idle like the guys above, but my question is why would it matter what RPM you idle at as long as your A/F is around the 14.7 range? Between 500-1300rpm, what we be the difference?

you're pulling in more air at 1300 rpm compared to 500 rpm.. so ur wasting gas
