What would you guys suggest that the idle should be on a stock 02 Viper? It's at about 1500 but I was trying to adjust the throttle so that I was getting 100% throttle because I wasn't before and anything over 1500 doesn't sound right?
The throttle opening is adjusted at the cable. Don't make it too tight or the TORS will activate. The idle is on a seperate screw and 1500 is fine.

I know that is not the way to adjust idle I was trying to adjust the throttle so that it would be getting full throttle when I squeeze the throttle all of the way. What exactly does the TORS do?

the tors retards the timing, so if the throttle is stuck open, or something, it starts killing the ignition, so you don't have a sled w/a ghost driving it.....lol. most guys (and myself) unplug this device, cause it can become a pita.
Idling them down from the stock setting helps keep them from the high idle condition that is common but makes them vibrate a little more. At 1800 the Viper is the smoothest, and quietest idling engine out there.

Oh, and the first time I adjusted it I fired it up and then it was idling around 1800 then it started going up to 2000 by itself then jumped up to 4000 and then I shut it off adjusted it a bit then it stayed around 1700 or 1800
