Default Normal Idle for c5?

Hey all,

Just wondering if this idle is normal, or if I'm just paranoid about it. I've had some very bad luck with engine health in my previous cars.
It seems like its ducking occasionally, I put my hand behind the exhaust, it feels like it might be pausing every so often too.
I just did rocker trunnion upgrade.
Sparks & wires. NGKs for both @0.040 gap
Maybe failing coil pack? No codes have been thrown; gas mileage is at 19.8 city.
