it's not a problem at all

anywhere between 500-1000 is fine. as long as it's not bouncing all over the place at idle there's nothing to worry about.

anywhere from 820 to 900 on my 2.4 that's the actual numbers from the dashhawk digital display and not a guesstimate.

Just a hair over 750, but it causes my Ingalls to rattle my car like a diesel truck.. annoying as hell. I can't wait to get stg 2 and hopefully it'll quiet down a lil.

if you thiknk the ingalls is bad, don't ever get any mounts. with my ingalls on the stiffest i didn't think it was bad at all.

I was hoping the higher idle rev would make the rumble lower once it gets past 850 it stops. When I first turn my car on and it's warming up the revs are higher, and there's no rumble; once she's at temp, she settles down and makes a hell of a noise >.>

I have my Ingalls set at 12.5. Anymore and it moves my car like no tomorrow! I've made sure it's tight, and completely parallel. I've readjusted it like 6 times and still it makes my car a large personal vibrator >.<
I've thought about dynamatting my firewall but that won't solve anything, it's the whole chassis that moves.
