First off i think you mean 700, not 7000. If you were idling at 7k you would have pistons on the ground, through your hood, con rods in the tires, etc. It'd be a mess, lol.
With that said, you idle speed is controlled by the ECM. Unless you have your minimum air set way high or way low, it will always idle where the computer wants it too. The ONLY way to change this is with a chip.
