i got bigger cams and dsmlink, gm maft, etc. my idle is pretty decent. I have it set to 1100 rpms, and it bounces about +/- 50 rpms.

As long as everything on your car is in good working order, like all sensors working, no vaccuum/boost leaks, everything tight, I wouldn't worry about it, sounds normal. No car will ever idle as good as a brand new accord

I sounds to me like there may be a small vacuum leak somewhere. Those are easily found with a squirt of Dawn dish washing detergent in a glass of water, then gently pour the water over vacuum hoses and connections and see if you get any bubbling. Maybe a sticking PCV valve also.

What do you consider heavily modded? If you've bridged the ports then you would know enough to answer your own question.
