Default Has anyone....

Has anyone lowered their idle by 50-100rpm?? I have always thought that the idle was a little fast. At least I thought it was fast for my taste and compared to my other vehicles. I would hope that I could get the engine to 'lope' a little more by lowering it.

Any thoughts??

Thanks in advance

Donot waste time lowering idle. You may run into other problems such as electrical system charging, water pump running to slow.
If you want that lope sound add a cam :yesnod:

C'mon, I'm trying to be cheap here!!! I would love to add a cam, but I think it would cost me a block, heads, pistons, rods...... :yesnod:

I'm not sure you can lower the idle speed with a manual adjustment.I believe
the idle speed is controled by the PCM.
