I have a pretty strong idle with a 280H comp in my 455.  That thing has no
choke so it's not fun in the morning, although it never stalls, just
hesitates for about 30 seconds of driving (no warm-up time).  But as it's
getting colder, I have to put back the Q-jet with choke soon.  I don't want
a nasty idle.  You say it's got good throttle response.  I hope so, not with
my 280H although WOT is good.  And fuel economy with the 280H sucks too.  I
will be running a 4-bbl carb at first, and then when I get money, possibly
the Holley MPI system.   I like EFI but the TBI in my Trans AM licks and I
don't want to spend too-much money on it.  Save and do it right.

 I have a friend who put a hotlt4 cam in an L98 with ported

I will be running a T5 with a centerforce clutch and 3.08 posi gears.  What
kind of MPG do you get with your LT4 HOT.  EFI should help with throttle
response and fuel economy, but I hope the carb works ok.  Thanks for info.
