650 warm. If its cold as a witches tit outside, then it idles at around 1000 rpm till it warms up. 1500 idle?
Seems way high, an intake would have no effect on idle unless you installed it wrong.

Less than 1,000 RPM after the engine is warm.

I've been reading various idle threads in here and my 1997 hardbody does this too. raise RPMS with AC on.
The AC draws more from the battery and the CPU thingy automatically raises the idle because if it didn't, it would pull too much juice from the battery as well as possibly stall the engine because of the excess load from running the ac. More RPMS, more efficiant charging.
Or some sheet like that. Just my theory.

I think 1500 is rather high... Mine is right around 1000
