Default OK...my car is idling like something really really bad, and i need my car tomorrow

ok, idle when turn on is good.

after about 5 minutes of running, it runs like crap. idle drops to about 500, really rough and seems almost unstable. drivability is small surge, lot of restriction when i hit the gas...almost like its fighting with me??

brand new opti, cam, crank, cooling system, plugs, wires, timing chain, belt, alt, battery.

someone told me that an O2 sensor can do that. first few minutes of the car running and it reads nothing (wide bank or something like that) then after a few minutes it reads and calculates what the sensor is telling the computer, then it controlls the idle that way??
95 LT1 is my car. O2 sensors are to the best of my knowlege to be original, and the car has a gutted cat. i have no SES lights popping on, and have had none since my engine rebilud.

feel free to ask me any drivabilty or other symptom questions and that will help me too.
