hey i got a problem. When i started my car this morning, it started idling at 1500 and would go down then the oil pressure went up to 55 almost to sixty, then the SES light when on.OH man. Then when im driving it, when u push on the gas it kinda feels like its working too hard. maybe im low on oil? i checked it before i put my headers on like 2 months ago and then broke the dipstick so i cant tell. Also i noticed the o2 sensor wire is a little melted. PLEASE GUYS HELP

A melted O2 sensor wire would account for the code. That would have made the ECM switch into "limp home" mode which retards timing and gives you a full rich mixture. That would affect performance big time. You might also have melted the oil pressure sensors wire which would cause the guage to give you incorrect readings as well.

Did you just break the dipstick? A dipstick should be cheap at the dealer. You should be able to find one easily at any junk yard.
In the mean time, at least cut and straighten a coat hanger, and shove it in the hole once in a while to see if you have oil.
