87 GT with Explorer GT40 heads and intake, E303 cam, 70mm throttle body, Microwsqirt ecu, and an AOD trans
Just what to know what's a good idle speed for this setup, I currently have it at 820 rpm's and it hits that when in gear but that seems a bit high and I have to hold on the break a bit harder than I think I should, can't seem to find what the factory recommended rpm is??

Don't expect it to idle at factory recommended rpm with the mods you have.
