Yeah the E-cam has a louder idle than the B or F cam. I think it sounds damn good. I put 1.72's on mine and it sounds real mean now. My car made great power from 2500 on up with the edelbrock intake and 1.6's on the E-cam. I switched to a systemax II intake and 1.7's and I lost a TON of lowend, probably a combo of both. I gained power maybe 300rpms higher than before. My car was dying off around 5600, now its more like 5900-6000. And now the power doesnt come on till about 3500, not nearly as fun. My buddy car has a TFS #1 and it just pulls and pulls to redline, but a little less lowend than my first combo on the E-Cam.

And yes its a ***** to get it to idle. My car idles around 1100 rpm now.
