Well it is pretty hard to tell from the vid what is going on underhood when it is idling. Is the motor knocking? Seems as though it is misfiring, but again it is hard to tell from the video.

And since you have an LT1 id imagine its your optispark. :p

when my original opti failed quite a while back and i pulled the idiot move of just trying to switch the cap and rotor instead, the car did the same thing except it didn't run that long.... when i tried to give it gas it would pop and sputter even worse just due to it would load up on fuel and not spark hardly any at all...
bought a new opti and it was fine afterwards
that would sure be my thought anyway

Hard to tell, but i would do a diagnosis on the fuel pump. Sounded like it was on its way out in the vid.
