Default idle problem for LS1, help!

im having a problem with idleing. for some reason lately the car wants to idle fine and then out of no where it dips to 350 rpm and starts to lope like its got a hot cam in it. then it all goes away. its never stalled out though it feels like its gonna. there is a slight hesitation in launch occasionally also. and to top it off the voltmeter dips to about 11-12v and all the interior lights and head lights go dim. The weird part is i cant find any consistancy to how or why, its got a mind of its own. computer is stock btw. just bolt ons with n2o plugs (ngk tr6) gapped @ .0035''
