do you have a big cam in there or something?

Vacuume leak of some kind I'd guess. I think you can turn the car on, and spray carb cleaner (just a little) near your vacuume lines (especially your break booster) and see if the idle changes or stumbles. For the record I have never checked for leaks this way, just hear of someone else on this board doing it ;)

You can also use a vacuum gauge on the brake booster line, check the the plastic fitting going into the booster.
