Ok so quick question. Once my car is warmed up, it idles around 6-700 rpm and drive it around for a bit then get on it, not even that hard (Wont even go past 5000 rpm.) then once it idles again it idles at 1000-1100 rpm. maybe higher. so my question is why is it doing this and is it bad. Do i need a tune or something. Thanks in advance for any/all responses.
SPecs:
306 fresh rebuild(less than 4000 on motor)
T5 trans.
650 carb
afr165 heads
1.6 rr.
f 303 cam.
