I had the same porblem. Threw in a clutch/pressure plate kit and still had the problem. Now that I have 400hp out of a 350, it gets worse... lol. Invest in a T56. This is an interal related problem.

What do you mean it starts off rough? Does it not go into gear properly or does the engine hesitate when you give it gas?

kinda sounds like what my car was doing when I first got it, tho you didnt specify much 
like Id hit the gas and itd take a sec for it registered to the car, then after it warmed up it ran just fine.
Still havent figured out that one but I do know its motor related(used to think it was tranny related cuz it felt like I let off the clutch sooner than I should have and it'd chug along if it didnt die)
