Idle, so.. around 1000 rpm's in neutral.
Also note the RPM will change when you adjust the timing.

If alls working well, and resonably in spec, you should idle about 750rpms on a stock motor.
If not, you should look through Tech Central and adjust min-idle speed.
1000 rpms in nuetral/park is too high.

With a good tranny, 1000 rpm in park will bark the tires when you put it in gear if you have a stock TC.

The EFI cars are better at controlling idle than the older carbed (pre-ECM'ed one's) are.
