Default Car runs bad in the rain

I have a 2001 Camaro with a stroker motor and have a problem when it is raining outside. The car runs real rough. Can anyone help me diagnose this. Has anyone had something similar and what was the problem.

Thanks

Do you have any exposed electrical? I've notice mine does not run 100% in high humidity.

Some times i have the same problem when its wet and rainy, but my thought is that since my car is low and the puddles are a little high, my 02 sensors are getting wet. But once the dry out there fine for me and go back to normal.
