Default exhaust idle....need your opinion

Alright guys. First video has a higher rpm idle and the second one has a lower rpm idle. The first one was what bama had it set to on the 93 oct tune. The second one, I lowered the rpm.
Anybody know what Bama sets the rpm to for the 93R tunes?? I might need that number if I end up changing it back.

Also, does my car sound like it is cammed??? The dealer I got it from said the previous owner had done soem engine work but the dealer wasn't sure what was done.
It sounds pretty nasty right now if that is stock cams! What do you think?

It does sound like a cam, but I've been wrong before.

750rpms is stock idle speed, I think.

Which of the two do you like better? The slower idle speed or faster idle speed?

The first one sounds better, second one sounds like it misfiring. I wouldn't jack around with the idle speed.

Did the car come with the bama tune? If so, I'm sure they can tell you if it's cammed and what kind of cam. I'd want to know just what was done to my car.

No. I put the tune on it. I am going to call bama tomorrow and ask what the rpm should be set at. I moved it back to 740 but it still doesn't sound like it was but maybe it's just my mind.
I also would like to know what is done. I believe it is just the cervini exhaust that is giving it this idle but who knows!

1st one sounds alittle fast, and the 2nd sounds alittle slow. It sounds like you have an aftermarket cam to me.
Set that sucker to 750 and you will be golden.
