I was told by the guys at Dynamic Racing that the idle should be around 850-900. Harold @ Dynamic said it's just harder on the tranny internals to go from park to drive and drive to reverse @ higher idle speeds. But after what they did to the tranny on the dyno (it was amazing to watch) I find it hard to believe that ANYTHING under 900 HP would hurt this tranny.
