Default Idling speed

What RPMS on a nearly stock GT at idle? Mines at just barely over 500...I'd guess 550 or so when at normal operating temperature. That seems kinda low to me, though I don't know if it will cause any problems. It doesn't seem to, I'm just curious.

When I get a tuner I'll bump it up a little.
