You would have to do it through tuning software.

Tuning software is the best way to go. You might be able to screwup the IAC or butterfly to allow more air, but it might not work so well.

Are you having trouble or do you just want to bump the idle up a little?

Any local Mustang tuner should be able to help you.
The software is through SCT.

I use Sniper Special Forces. SF will allow upto 1000rpm more idle in 100 rpm increments.

When i was putting on my cold air at first start it idled at like 500 and sounded GREAT!! but has since changed to the normal 800 or so. So im shooting for a lower idle. I already have 3" Glasspack and love the sound of the exhaust just want that old camed motor sound!

Would a Diablo Predator tuner work?

You would need a custom diablo tune to get the idle down. If you buy a tune, make sure you get one with a normal idle in case the alternator doesn't charge well at 500rpms.
