Your car is supposed to idle at 650 +/- 50 rpm when warm. It sounds like your idle is fine as-is.

Does this dimming actually cause any problems? Mine dims for a second at idle when I put the brake lights on.

Idle screw. Just turn it counterclockwise about 1/2 turn or so or until it idles where you want it to. Be sure and unplug the electronic air control valve when you're setting the idle speed, then shut the car off, plug it back in, an start it up again to check the speed.
