Eh, it idles around 500rpm right now and is running really rich. It will stall if you let off the accelerator too quick. But getting it retuned Saturday and cant wait to drive it afterwards. Ill post up some vids.

Its funny sitting at a light and you see everyones head on a swivel trying to see where that sound is coming from.

yep, I have the exact same issue, idling at around 500 rpm and will stall sometimes in reverse and coming to a light with the a/c running or turning slowly. Yes, running rich too, quite a healthy exhaust smell. So definitely idling it up to around 850-900 rpm where it smooths out, and will likely be leaning it out some with the a/f ratio. Like you, I can't wait to get it tuned! It definitely is fun pulling up to the light and seeing the heads turn!

The 16 hours was what their labor book stated. It took him less. But that also included the front and rear sway bar installs.
