LS3 Running, but rough, and rich....

Car is ALIVE!!! Sounds pretty pissed off. I have a mid sized cam, and open headers. Car was tuned before I dropped in the car. Wondering if my open headers could be causing the O2's to give funny readings? As you give it throttle, it's pretty responsive, but will sputter and die at idle, and enough fumes to burn your eyes.... Suggestions??
I'll get a video tomm and post it on here so everyone can see where I'm at so far.

Ya open headers are bad when 02's are involved, ecm will be tossing fuel at it like no tomorrow cause the 02's will be pegged lean. Hook up your exhaust and carry on
