Low Idle

Does anyone know what is the idle rpm's would be for a stock 89 TBI. Mine idles solidly at 500. Is this normal? My two GTA's 87 and 88 with 350 TPI always seemed to have a a higher idle. Don't get me wrong, my TBi is in perfect running order, just wondering if its normal to idle soo low. Never stalls or sputters.
