Rough Idle
I have a brand new engine 174 miles. The cam is a custom grind and loves rpm above 2000. It will jump around when in park which I expected. However when sitting at a stoplight in gear it almost stalls out.
Will a custom ship help the idle?

Need more info on engine and setup, but if it's much different than stock you probably need a new prom burned....

I've been thinking about burning a chip, but I won't be able to work on the car for a while, it's in storage now, (Iowa winter).
