idle speed

How many rpm's should my psd idle at? Right now mine idles at about 700-800. Although almost every other stroker that i've drove idles down around 600-500. What is normal? Can I lower my idle rpm?

Dunno. Minor programming differences? Relative health of the cam sensor? Tachometer calibration? I suppose it could be any number of things.
