Sounds like she can handle being cold, my 398 needs to warm up a bit before the idle settles.

Sounds great. I used to run my idle about like that even cold but it took forever to get any heat into the engine (closed loop). 1300 backing out of the garage cold and choppy sounds pretty awesome too. My neighbors love it...

Thanks! and I agree, it has been one of the most enjoyable parts of the car is the chop. Ive been in open loop for a long time now. Going back to the dyno in a couple weeks to do some more tuning and go back to closed loop. Lean it out a bit.
