Default high idle

this is a question for a friend of mine, he bought a 1999 v6 5 speed ford mustang from florida, and drove it back up here to PA. it has 96XXX miles on it and i got in it the first time yesterday and noticed that with the A/C on it idled around 2000 rpms. with the a/c off it ideled around 1800. I coudlnt think of a reason why it would be idling so high? anybody have any ideas? he has a fenderwell intake kit, and dual exhaust with dumps

Or it could be that the throttle body adjuster screw needs to be re-adjusted.
