yeah i think its between 750 and 850, as long as its happy and doesnt try and stall when you plant it it should be fine.

give the idle control valve a clean with brake cleaner it might be sticking and causing the low idle.
if that dont work the icv's are adjustable by undoing the screws and slightly twisting it.(well it is on mine anyway)
