Default Lower idle?

I have just swapped my stock flywheel for a 8lb. chromoly flywheel and when warming up it idles at 1200rpm. It's about 300 off from before. Is this just because of the lighter flywheel? I swapped my Dx tranny for a Si and put a ACT xtreme press. plate and street/drag performance clutch. It is suppost to add like 80% more clamping force. I haven't had a chance to drive it yet, Just fired it up for a minute. I also added a 2.25in magnaflow catback. It's so nice a deep that it gives you that buzzing feel in your head when you stand beside it . Just want to know if lower idle is common with lightwieght flywheels.

If you swapped your dx tranny for an si tranny thats most likely the reason why its idling higher. Let her warm up fully and see if the idle needs to be adjusted or not. If it does, there is a notch on your throttle body you can adjust to your likings.

I know this may be a stupid question, but why does the Si tranny make my idle lower? Is it because of the shorter gears? I will adjust the idle once it warms up to where it's suppost to be, but I don't get it why it idles lower. If someone could clear this up for me, that would be great.
