Are you stock? 1K idle doesn't sound stock... I use EFILive and with my setup (check sig) I idle around 55kPa @850rpm's. I know somebody with the same cam on a 114 and he idles around 47kPa. If I remember correctly when I was stock I idled around 30kPa @ 700rpm.

Manifold pressure in kilo Pascals, it's metric. 105 kPa is sea level air pressure so 55kpa I'd guess is around 7.5psi or .5 bar.
