You're right! Idle is 1100 RPM and believe me, that's amazing to ride on the street. Maybe in a 408" you can drop the idle around 1000 RPM easily...
I am a big believer in having a high idle with a flat tappet cam. Have a 1 wire alternator that charges from 1500 rpm on up. So at the track i keep it at 1500 so its always charging
