Idle Speed
Is there any advantage to increasing my idle speed? Currently it is at 650 rpm. Seems low to me.

No advantage, and no problem.

I don't think you can. It's all computer controlled via the electronic throttle body.

It's normal and I'm not sure why someone would want to increase it. Seems to me it would lower gas mileage a little.

When I bought my car my dealer told me C7's have a slightly rough idle which is normal.

650 with a slightly lopey cam. It's all good.
