Stock 496 ECM's are set to have the engine idle about 600 rpms in gear and about 650 rpms out of gear. what are yours idling at? There is no adjustment setting other than the ECM which handles the idle air motor to make the adjustments.
I would also recommend checking your throttle linkage to make sure one is not out of adjustment or binding and holding one throttle open mechanically.
The scan tool would be required beyond that check.
If you guages were correct before chances are its not a guage differential and you should be also able to hear and tell when the engines are idling at that kind of rpm difference.
