Too rich at idle?

I'm getting rather low vac at idle.. like 12-13 psi at 800 rpm. The compression is good, 110 all around, umm the idle is fine. I've tried removing a vac line while at idle and then the idle becomes unsteady and bounces etc.. oh well probably gonna get "search" with this one.. but i just thought i'd ask

If you are putting out 12-13 psi at 800 rpm then you are the man . I will ship my car to you to modify .You are the new hero .

I think you mean 12-13 inches of mercury (vaccum) On the other hand you might give us some more info. Last time you changed the plugs, mods, what were you doing before this. Good luck

K I really need some help on this since it has been a while and I am not any closer to finding the problem. I recently added a FC1000 ignition box and i noticed that the vac has dropped even lower now. Knock levels have been normal, but not the vac is like at 10-12 at 800rpm. I am gonna change out the plugs soon.
I am running a relocated (behind the ABs) seq system, power fc, intake, midpipe, exhaust, fc1000 ignition, T2 coil pack. I am kind of leaning away toward a vac leak because the idle is pretty good. it doesn't bounce around and stuff. any suggestions or methods to trouble shoot would be great.
oh i've also done a compression test. 110 psi on all faces front and rear rotors.
