. Only the BIG lift cams have problems idling these days.Maybe just the 03s did....bcuz at 'my friends racetrack'......i went 156 and it wouldnt let me go further (with some of the RPM band left obviously). Then i got into a discussion in another thread abt the stock speed govenor or whatever you wana call it and i was not sure if mine was removed by AMS. Upon calling them i found out it was......now just to see if its really true! Better go to "my friends racetrack" again!
As for the idle...do you have an idle stabilizer? Or a grounding kit? Or anything else that could aid in smoothing out the idle? Maybe just a really good tune!
I am just asking because my car has 272s and a much smaller turbo and my idle gets really choppy or lopey at times.
I dont know if it has anything to do with temperature or something but i really think they are just sporadic.
AT TIMES they will idle ALMOST like stock, but at other times it will sound like a beefed up muscle car (lopey are hell, sounds almost like AMS's racecar idling at the strip)
It always varies
Ive even gotten a comment from a old guy in a 50s pickup, he said my car "idles like its from the 60s"

Or was that monies? I always have mixed up you and him dont know why, maybe since your cars look very much alike (color wise especially)

The IX is making more power than the VIII was even with cams.
