lumpy idle

So...since I got my z06 in june there is one thing that kinda puzzles me. It may be normal. I dont know. I am new to vettes and the LS motors. My car to my knowledge is stock internally, but has always kinda had a bumpy idle. Not anything I can see on my tach, but I can see the motor under the hood kinda shake a hair and you can feel it inside the car. Is this just a common trait of the LS6? or do I need to be looking at something??

It's normal, even the stock cam has some lope. When I changed cams I sold my stock cam on fleabay in a heart beat.

Is it normal enough to even feel it in car? It doesnt sound like it misses or anything or have any lope, but you can feel it in car at times and see the motor shimmy a little.

I experience the same in my 99 ls1 an I also noticed the same thing in a 03 ls1 with 4l60 that I test drove. I think it's normal.
