Duration and LSA. If you keep your durations reasonable, LSA will have a huge impact on idle quality. I would stay in the 112-116 area. What type of cam are you considering? What size motor?

Far from an expert,

But I have been told, and also the results on my SC motor, a supercharger will tame the idle somewhat on a normally rougher idleing cam that is in a nat. aspir motor.
