What idle speeds do you use for what stunts?

for slow rolls with lots of rear brake?

and for tank wheelies with no rear brake? Will a low idle like 1000 give more engine brake?

Engine brake is all in the gearing. When turning up your idle, that just gives constant gas so you don't have to with the throttle. For slow stuff I rock around 2,500. It all depends on what your comfortable with and how fast you wanna go with slow stuff.

turn your idle up, get used to it. once you clutch it up, forget about the throttle. its sick! :YEAH :YEAH

if u leave ur idle at 1000 and try to roll slow u will a nice stall, followed but doubling over from smashin ur ***** into the tank, but some people like to roll slow usin the throttle and more brake. as far as spreaders, highchairs, ect. u want ur idle stock.

im gonna try 1000 tommorow to give more engine braking balancing spreaders etc.

i know the slow rolls are easier with higher idle
