    I finished my S1X and Gen V install and the idle is not holding steady. I still have stock idle settings. The idle will start to fall off a little bit and then jump up to stop from stalling. It will only drop to low 700's rpm range and then jump up to a little over 800. This will hold steady for a few seconds until it slowly drops off again. Is this a side effect of an S1X at stock idle settings or do I need to hunt down a problem? It runs great other than at idle.

    Thats what cams do. You can raise the idle a bit if you want to smooth it out.

    This isn't the lope that I would expect from a cam. It seems like it's about to stall when the idle bumps back up. This cycle happens about every 5 seconds. This is normal? If so, how much does the idle need to be bumped to hold stable? 50? 100?

    THAT IS WHAT CAMS DO. IF you dont like it raise the Idle to about 900-1050. Can we get an exhaust clip please?
