I dropped mine to as low as it would go. Sounds nice at a stop.

Same here: my Brenspeed93tune idle was too high and my Bamatune was idling too low. Set idle to 800. 800 is nice, not too high not too low, just right.

I had mine at 850 but I think I'll lower it in a bit.

I tried to change mine with my Xcal1 but when I rewrite the tunes to the programmer the engine light comes on and the engine runs rough. What's up with that?

I put my idle down to 750. I threw a rich bank 1 code in about 10 miles of driving. I put it back up to 800.

with no change to engine internals, is there any reason to move the idle around (other than for the sound you want). Thats odd that tunes from two different shops choose idles on opposite ends of the spectrum?
