I opted for the street cams, as it offered the promise of close to OEM idle and it offers the best powerband for my setup.

While the latter is true, the same could not be said about the idle quality; it sounds rather lumpy - so much so it initially triggered misfire detection on the standard ecu.

That's an issue I was aware of with them hence why I asked. I know Bill doesn't rate them that highly as they can be difficult to work with.
