removing all emmissions, including the BAC system, idle can get a little more... sloppy. a common remedy ive found is to simply up the idle speed. im just curious as to what speeds everyone has brought it up to to allow a solid idle.

BAC is not part of the emissions system. I honestly have no idea why people remove it. You gain nothing, and lose the ability to have a factory idle...

Generally 900-1000 RPM is enough to idle the car under all loads. If you use the A/C, you have have to increase it a little bit more.
