Default O2 Sensor Question - Values varying widely

I have been having a fast idle issue with my car for the last couple weeks that is intermittent. So in the process of checking that out I logged some data from my car on my way home from work last week. The thing I noticed that was unusual (I think) is my O2's varying wildly. Below is a small exerpt from the file. Does this look unusual to anyone else? Any ideas what it could be if so? My mods are in my sig.

O2's will cycle a lot during idle and cruise. They shouldn't fluctuate much at all during WOT.

Yep Magnus got it. Unless your at WOT they are going to be all the over the place as load conditions are ever changing etc....At WOT they should hold around 890-915 or so, but they are to be used in loose translation only.
You have the EGR mod, check for a vacuum leak around the egr fiting at the manifold. Also, with the cam and not having tuning, you will get that as the IAC motor is trying to compensate for idle quality.

Just a few thoughts on it.

Thanks for the input guys. But the car is tuned, Jayson at MTI did the tune. My idle problem has only been for the last 3 weeks or so. It's very inconsistent.

Got a fuel pressure gauge? if so, hook it up and see if the Fp is fluctuating or steady.
