Sup ppl...Juss finish throwing a street ported engine, Dellorto Carburetor, Manual Tranny, and MSD amplified ignition. I did everything at one shot ( I know a lil risky) but thank God it worked! My baby runs like a dream whippin all that test 
For everything I spent 300 I love gettin deals. Everything runs smooth idles at 1500 wich is great being the engine is street ported. All the work was done by me and my pops Im 17 hes teaching me alot. The car came with headers and full exgaust purrin like a kitten, shes fast, very fast but ofcourse we will allways crave more speed. I drive my car regularly so I dont wanna go crazy like bridgeportin or nething, I was juss wonderin what can I do for a lil more speed without stressin my engine on the streets?? Any info would help being Im learning everything new.Thanx alot fellas...sIcE NyC

Well you should be able to adjust the idle speed on the Carb. I am not familiar with Dellorto's but most just have an idle speed screw. You should be able to get a nice 900 rpm idle. That is where mine is at and it is about right. I had it set at around 700-750 at first, but after I put on the exhaust it would want to die at stop lights if you didn't down shift coming up to a stop.

I was going to say. You and Vosko both cant read.
As long as its tuned right, even a carbed street port should idle below 1k/rpm.
As for more speed it sounds like you've got just about everything an NA could want for speed. Just keep her tuned and running well.
Oh, and post pics
