I'm by no means an expert tuner, and I'm using this and many threads to help me get my Cammed Turbo 6.4 up and running. But from what I understand, Your thoughts are in line with mine on that. Yes we should be able to use this information to make our cams idle with a choppy sound within reason. That and help us get a handle on fluctuating idle issues, or so I hope. There is a ton of information on this forum to read threw. Like you I have my work cut out for me.
