Idle Question (i'm a worry-wart)
OK, Car has 70K and plugs/wires I assume are original, do these cars generally idle a bit rough or do I most likely need to do a tune-up? I know my old LT1 car idled a bit rough but wasn't sure w/ the LS1..Thanks

An "unfortunate" by-product of the camshaft. You'll never get it smooth, so don't sweat it.
However, at 70K I would swap out the plugs for sure, and probably the wires as well.
