Default os 70

There is no "best" idle RPM. Anything below 2,300-2,400 RPM with a good acceleration would be considered acceptable. Lower is gravy. Just make sure the engine will accelerate after about 30 seconds (at least) of idling.

A well-broken-in and set-up engine can idle almost indefinitely and still accelerate to full.
