I have a "Kent Fast Road Cam" in my 69 BGT. It idles just fine on dual
SU's. The idle is just a little bit rougher than the stock cam and the
boost in midrange power is well worth the tradeoff.

I suspect the carb more than the cam. You have to get into full race
cams before the idle gets gets so lumpy that it won't.

I'm not a Weber expert, but if the engine is running well at other
RPM's look at the idle circuit in the carb. Make sure the passages are
open, and that it has the proper jets.
A colortune will tell you if the engine has the proper mixture.
