Simple idle question.

I know that our Evo don't really have a smooth idle. I was wondering if your idle has gotten smoother after you guys/gals changed your sparks plug and which one did you go with. Stock, Denso or NGK?

stock idle is pretty smooth, you should sit in my car

My idle stayed the same when i got new plugs, and i went with NGK BPR7EIX's

Idle should be around 750(+/-50) when the car has reached operating temperature. On cold start, it will idle at 1200rpm and come down gradually as the car warms up. Even in the cold, if the car is at operating temperature, the car should idle around 750-800rpm.
