How many rpms at idle?

My son's Mini seems to idle around 8-900 and that seems to be too slow.

8-900 seems right, unless it's just been fired up then 1100 seems normal

Thanks, it's just kind of shaky til it gets to 1000 and above.

There may be other things causing the issues below 1k. I thought stock idle was like 750. I have a cam and idle at 950.
