What's the normal idle? Isn't it around 650rpm? My truck/cam combo won't idle below 750-800rpm or it stalls out even with the tune, Silverbullets truck with the sidewinder would not idle at the stock rpm so to get it to run he had to bump up the idle by about 200rpm give or take. The more agressive the cam the more likely the idle has to be bumped up or it'll stall.

I think stock idle is 700. I know mine I could get down close to 500 and it would idle. Right now it is about 575 in P but in N and D I run it at 650

If I recall, the OP wants to run a cam on the Superchips tune. If thats the case, good luck. For torque grinds you've got your choice of the 260 or sidewinder, and both of those will be hit or miss as far as the 03's are concerned running on a canned tune.

yeah im running a KRC 210 on a 110lsa, but I may have gotten lucky. No two 03 motors seem to be the same as far as ease of tuning goes. for your best bet, you may need to end up going custom tuned. Either way, your pcm still might not accept it. hemi's are extremely finicky towards tuning. Hate to be the debby-downer, but I say it like it is. I got lucky. You might not.
