Default Recommended Idle RPM 427w?

Seems the consensus of motor builders is to not let your hi-performance motor sit at idle too long, give it a rev now and then if you're stuck in bumper to bumper or at a long light. In CA we have some that last 4 minutes by-the way. I've also read that an 800 RPM idle is pretty common. The question is - why not set your idle up to 1000 or even 1200 so you're not vulnerable to those "lost in thought" moments and forget to rev it when not moving? Granted, you're going to burn more gas - don't care about that.
