RPM issue?

ok so I just got my Camaro a week ago and I noticed that my rpms jump very slightly but rapidly up and down at idle. for some reason I cant upload videos but my car is 100% stock its a ss, its an m6..it fluctuates about 200rpm while its idling but it does it rapidly. no cel and it runs perfectly fine. I heard that they come stock with a pretty large cam and that could be the reason...maybe im just used to my 4 bangers and diesel idling smooth but I don't know... any sugestions would be awesome and sorry about no vids but ill try to get them up soon.

You bought the car used correct? It could be a tune that is installed. It sounds similar to my "ghost cam" in the trifecta tune.

Mine wobbles a little too at idle. I believe that it can be smoothed out with a tune.

Normal. I have a tune and it still does it. My '04 LS1 and '06 LS2 GTO's did to.

It's bone stock so I don't think it has an aftermarket tune and as far as the MAF ill have that checked when I get it to the dealership next week for the stripes... Yes it was used with 13k miles
