If the idle speed does not hold the target rpm in the calibration which is usually defaulted to 950-1050, then it could be a VE tuning issue, assuming you don’t have an intake leak..

It will hold the target rpm I have ajusted the scale so much just want to get back to the original settings with the 475c a rpm of 950 seams a little low.
If you don't mind anouther question when I auto tune and save the file if I look at the VE settings there still the same ?
Thanks for your support

Just trying to get the lope of the cam at idle to be a little smoother
I'm going to copy yours I think it will be a smoother transition between temperatures as my last two columns there was too much of a difference so it's causing my idle to bounce

Idle speed adjustments will not help much with what you are describing. That is getting the VE's dialed in and A/F mixture settings.

The way that cam is made I don't think you will get a smooth idle with it. That is what made my decision on the 475, performance plus idle lope.
