Engine shake?
How much does your engine shake?....i have new motor mounts and a complete overhaul on a Hot cam Kit, LT's, tuning everything basically except for Ported heads.....and it runs great...just at idle the engine has an intermitent shake. What is it?..thanks Tony

Misfire could easily cause a shake... but I agree that those numbers are low for idle.
You mentioned that you installed the LT4 Hot Cam. On mine, I just re-adjusted the valves and noticed that the back side of a few rockers were "dished" that the pushrod created a groove or another pocket. This is causing an infrequent jolt at idle as the timing of that valve/cylinder is changing due to the angle of the pushrod to rocker arm geometry.
Could be programming (which should be done with a cam install). Could be misfire (probably ignition).
Could be mechanical (in my case it was bad rockers)
Good luck.
