Yes indeed, that is why I am asking for help bud. If I didn't need it, I wouldn't be here now would I?
I'm a roofer, not an engine builder. Cars are my hobby, and as I said, this is the first time I've done this.
Car doesn't need massive power, respectable power is fine, and yes, a 'phoney' idle is fine if it sounds like what I'm after! However, if it's not possible, then tell me the best combo for rough idle and street drivability please.
