Are there any SES codes present? Might want to check over the engine for any noticable vacuum leaks or exhaust leaks before the 02 sensors.

Is there any codes being thrown? How's your fuel pressure?

Edit: Just as 2000GTP said, I was gonna suggest to check for a vacuum leak.

i think the fuel pressures low cause the fuel pump has to prime before i start it

That's normal. Check your fuel pressure first. I don't know the specs for an LS1 though.

O2's have a big effect on engine function, if you have a o2 code, the corresponding o2 sensor should be fixed/replaced. I would try cleaning your MAF and looking around for vacuum leaks.
