Default LS1 Programmers

Can you adjust idle level with a programmer? Also, what is a good brand to get? The car is a 1999 Z28 with some bolt ons.

there is more to just buying hp tuners there is a whole lot to learn when using it.
i tune with hp tuners and when i first bought it i was so lost and had no idea where to start or really where to adj anything. now that i have gone to school for it i am so happy i learned it but it takes ALOT of learning and reading to really get it down but it is fun.
