fast and slow idel be(RPM wise) for an 83 chevy c10 straight 6 250

Oh sock you crazy bastard, did you set the selector on the tach to tell it you had a 6-cylinder and not an 8-cylinder engine? If your revs seem high, that's probably why. Mufflers will not affect RPM, your idle when she's warming up (choked) should be around 1200 RPM, and your slow idle should be between 500-700 RPM.
