It's at around 900 rpm most of the time when hot, and it kind of wavers down to about 500, then surges to 1000, then back to 900 or so.... A couple years ago it was very smooth so I know what it can sound like.  The car starts easy cold, after a couple of cranks hot, and has plenty of power.  It's not missing.
