Default Idle??

Why are the vettes set to idle at 800 rpms versus the SS and WS6 which are set at 500 rpms at idle?

F-bodies are not fly-by-wire... Vettes are.

Our idle is a target value in the look up table. The PCM uses IAC values/steps and the timing tables, along with the target idle RPM, to determine final RPM.
A little more complicated for idle while moving.
FWIW.
