Idle speed adjustability

Why does my 2007 around 800 and it seems like all other trucks at 750? Is there a programmer out there that can bring the idle down to 600 or so? Seems like the idle would be MUCH quieter...and the clutch would not have to be slipped as much on takeoff.

Didnt the raise the idle on the 12v's from 600 due to epa regs or something?

My 06 idles at 750 and there is a very noticable difference in noise etc versus my 07's 800.

My 05 f-150's diablo programmer let me adjust idle speed, why cant we do it on these trucks?
