My small street port.. help

Ok guys so i mentioned i came back to the Rx world. FInally!!!

So here we go. I just finished buying a 1983 rx7. I found out that the engine has a small street port. No wonder it sounds so damn good when i rev and drive
But any who.. the engine is street port and the intake maifold is also ported to match the port on the engine.

Now... heres the thing i want to know if i could do.. The engine is ideling at 1,500 cold start than after i drop the choke when i think its ready it idels at about 1,300
Idk but i want to know if i could drop the idel a bit more down. and if i could how much and would it afect my perfomance in this car.???

So any one who has experince with small street port on a 12A carb plez tell me what they think i should do. and if there is anything eles i should do on intake.

help me

thanx guys!

You can keep dropping the idle until it just doesnt want to idle no more. If it really is a "small" street port you should be able to idle about the same as stock.
