Default Engine idle help

quick question guys what should i have my cobra idle at?
302 bored out over .60 heddman headers 289 heads
edelbrock performer intake 4 barrel carb

i had it idling at like 500 rpms and it would stall on me
and run weird sometimes but it sounded good
i didnt know if i should up it too like 1000 or where should i set the idle at?

I beleive 700 is good, if you have a cam or ac or high amp load- stereo - lights etc.. 600-750 is a good baseline
