Idle RPM from the factory?

Does anyone know at what RPM the warm engine idle is set at from the factory? The truck is a 2004 5.3L?

The stock file for my 99 says 575 in park/neutral and 525 in gear. A 2002 says its 575 in park/neutral and in gear. I idle mine at 625 in park and 600 in gear to help keep the alternator output a little higher when the fans are on. At the same time I don't get that annoying roll back anymore when taking off on an incline.

I have EFI live and I looked at my stock 99 file and a stock 2002 file and what I am running now which is a modified 2002 file.

I can confirm this...I remember looking at my live data with a scan tool back when my truck was stock and that's where my idle was

Thanks all. I didn't know if it came from a manual or online somewhere. I did a lot of searching online, but couldn't find anything.
