As long as it isnt studdering and shaking and stalling, I would say it is ok. I think the DSP tuner allows you to adjust the idling. Im fairly sure the SC doesnt.

Mine runs down to 550 sometimes but is generally at 600. As long as it idles smooth and doesn't stall or hesitate when you hit the gas, your fine.

Sounds pretty normal to me, mine sits around 500 while idling as well.
