10k mod w/ rough idle, is it normal?

I have a coonified 10k mod on my truck and it has a bit of a rough idle but distinguishable.

I haven't noticed any hiccups in power or anything.
Truck runs the same on diesel or veggie.

Is it normal to have a rough idle on the 10k mod.
Disturbed told me no it isn't normal but I swear I have heard this as a norm before.

Is there anyway I can check the HPOP?

Sorry for another 10k question

Mine seems to run a little off sometimes... It doesn't miss or anything.. Just seems like its "purring somtimes."

But that could be caused by a number of reasons...

I did mine a week ago and it was shaking a little right away. Only at idle though. I see I'm not alone, lol.

I also think temperature does it too. There was a thread a couple days back saying how a lot of guy's trucks ran rough until the engine was at operating temp with the (10) K mod.

This is my theory, but if you got old style ICP you might get that sumptom.

there is an updated version out there.

i've never checked my icp part number but i have another i may throw n to try it out. now that its cold out i do have a slightly rough idle but i wouldnt really call it rough? it does smoke more when cold now then with it removed but thats normal considering you are throwing a good bit more fuel to it. once warmed up all is back to normal, smooth idle, no white smoke

I don't have any smoke and I guess I wouldn't call it rough but a quicker idle which I was kind of interpreting as rough.
