I got my car tuned tonight by a HP Tuner and before the tune I was right at 500RPM's and now im around 750RPM's, so it can be done.
The idle set screw is a torx bit T-10. However, as stated above you need to do it through the PCM. There's a table (that should be in all versions of LS1Edit, HPT, EFI Live) that allows you to adjust desired idle speeds based on coolant temps. The newer cars also have a run timer that will add rpm to the desired idle speeds for 20 seconds after startup before slowly decaying away. I think '01 was the first year they used this on LS1 f-bodies.
