I put a K&N filter on my car and this raised my idle speed from 600 RPM to 1300 RPM.

1)Is this hurting anything? or am I just parinoid?

2)And if it is how do I adjust it?

Neo,

If you've ONLY changed the filter, there should be little or no change in idle speed. Unless the engine had cooled significantly while you changed over, or the old filter was nearly plugged, there should be little change.

If the idle is higher once the engine is fully warmed, there is another problem. You really can't adjust curb idle speed without reporgramming the PROM. The PROM has a target hot idle speed and will try everything to adjust to accomplish that.

I do not drive it for long peroids, usually only for a mile or two, but tommorrow I will go cruzing arould and let the engine fully warm up and see if the difference is still as large.
