So what gives with the rough idle, is it just "the nature of the beast"?

44 views, and nobody has anything to say about this? Maybe it is such a dumb question that it does not warrant a response.

Well, I don't have a Ram SRT (yet), but do have a Viper SRT. The idle is not rough on it and the motor is the same, I believe. Must be something wrong. Maybe nobody is answering because they don't have your problem and the symptom confuses them.

Rough idle is subjective. I don't think it idles rough at all but I also don't know what you are used to driving.

its the cam, it has a slightly "lopey" idle. my iron v-10 idles smooth.

Nature of the V10. Its normal and among the FAQs for first time Viper owners. The VCA site gives a detailed answer as to why it feels rough, but it has to do with the firing sequence of the V10.
