Default 1993 z28 stuttering

ok before I start here let me list out the mod and what I have done
1993 z28 lt1
58mm TB
gm847 cam
longtubes
heated o2
slp cold air intake
tune
24lb injectors

Im having a problem with the car cutting out and not running right at less then WOT. The car runs great for about 30min+ of driving and then the problem starts up. if you kill the car and let in sit for a min or so it runs fine again for a while. I cammed it about three weeks ago and it was running fine until a few days ago. I have replaced both 02s,temp sensor in the waterpump, checked the plugs and wires and now ive looked at the computer data with my laptop and MAP is fine and reads ok TPS reads fine but the 02 sensors read weird they keep goin to 30.00 mv and the cars cuts out kill it the read ok and then all the sudden its back at it again it will even cut out with both 02s unplugged and the is the seconds set of o2s

any help would be much appreciated

check your fuel pressure, stop just replacing o2s. Check over your spark plugs, is the icm spaced away from the heads, its been known that sometimes when they got hot they cause problems.

id go over your plugs again, also try just disconnecting the battery, i know it seems like a long shot but simple things first before spending a bunch of money, my car had a misfire and such wasn't sure what it was, all i replaced was one o2 sensor and disconnected the battery for 30 mins and its good as new now.
