Default How to set idle?

Is there anyway to really set the idle on my car? I know it's computer controlled, so I wasn't sure if there was a manual way to do it or not.

The reason I'm asking is because on the installation instructions on the bbk pullies, it says to set the idle at 750-800 rpm.

yep, he's right. adjust the screw under the throttlebody per These Instructions and then continue on to step 4 to adjust TPS voltage (set it anywhere between .8 and 1.0vdc).
