Is my idle too low?

Just curious I've noticed my engine idle's quite a bit lower than others. I did some searching in the service manual and I see it says the RPMs should be 450 +- 50 when warm.

I feel like I'm running closer to 350, sometimes lower.

Nope, it's never had an issue idling. The only thing I notice is if the alternator has to kick in (say window motor / lights ) the RPMs will dip for a second.
