1000 to me seems to be too high just idleing. it should be around 700 i think according to the tag on the side of the motor. mine went from like 375 or 400 to 500 after i put my 4k gsk in. and thats was everything back in the same way it came out.

1000 seems fine at idle. Should be 750-800 in drive with the A/C on (assuming it's an auto).

Sounds like your springs are a hair tight.
