Correct Idle RPM

Was wondering what is the factory idle rpm of a 6.0L LQ9 motor?
Mine idles at 600 rpm's currently.

wasn't sure if 650 rpm's was the correct rpm idle. My vibrating idle goes away at a 650 rpm idle.
Anyone know the exact idle rpm?

The idle will stay the same with a Nelson tune. I just need to know what I should be idling at.
