a 276 won't give you a big idle, but you don't want one if you're not gonna increase compression I've had a 276 in a turbo and blown application and IMO they sound stock. The 284 has a noticable lump but wants 9.2+:1 comp, and a decnt idle comes with something like a 286 which wants 10:1 comp. Don't put a big cam in just for the idle, it will make your car slower than stock and worse on fuel. Do it properly and bump the comp up. cams that come as part of "stage" kits are babies.

haha, nah I'm just joking at what az said. You see people all the time bragging that they have a 'stage 3' or 'stage 5' cam in their car... and really it doesn't mean anything.
