Idle at 500 after KN CAI

I installed my KN CAI a few months ago now. I've noticed ever since that my car idles at 500-600. Thing is... I don't have any problems with the car, it runs great and sounds amazing. But everything I've read seems to show that people are concerned when their car idles that low. Should I be concerned that long term problems with develop or is it okay?

Ecoboost tactic.
Jam the floormat under the gas pedal to spool the turbo up quicker.
