Dang man it sounds like your car does the same thing mine does. Mine runs like a champ cold and runs like garbage warm. We should start a stumbling LT1 club. I have narrowed the porblem down to the opti. There is nothing else for me to do, new 02s new plugs wires, fuel filter. I t has to be the opti or it is something I am not aware of.

Well mine only does it for like 2 seconds after i start it up and it is still hot. It never stumbles any other time. I jut replaced my fuel filter but that didnt change anything. I hope its not the opti but i know thats what it will probably come down to.

Stumlbe as in a slight miss? Mine seems to randomly drop cylinders under load.

yeah like a little miss but it goes away after 2 seconds.. i might have to try the IAC and IAT and see if that helps.It never misses under load or acceleration.
