I had the tuner change my idle down a bit, and the car runs fine (no dying or hard starts) but it feels like the throttle response is gone a little bit. Could it be that the ecu needs to re learn after this kind of minor change? Maybe its my imagination. Any ideas?

What are you idling at?

If the only thing that was changed was idle speed, I dont see how that would affect throttle response.

it went from about 900 to 750per the ecu, then the throttle set screw was adjusted accordingly

900 is a high idle actually. 750 is perfect. Your car is fine.
