Default Car Is Bogging At Low RPM's

I'm having a little bit of trouble with my '96 LT1 with only 96,600 miles on it. I can feel it bogg down at low rpm's, like 2700 and under. It feels nasty when I make a complete stop, you can feel the car kinda bogg but then it runs fine then boggs again. My Dad thinks it could either be a cracked head, bent valve, or a burnt plug wire. Just wanted to see if anyone has or had the same problem with their LT1. I thought about hooking it up to a computer but I don't know if it would work or not because the computer isn't throwing a check engine light or anything.

So it just bogs? No misfire?

Yeah but only at low rpm's. Didn't notice I left that out, but yeah it's missing. I'm thinkin' a plug wire is bad or something. It started out very small then the problem grew very slowly.

I don't think it would be the timing? When I put the car in reverse and give it gas it feels as if it wants to cut off on me. I have no idea what to do. My Dad is pretty much thinking that I have a damn cracked head. If this problem is going to run me over $1000, I'm thinking about going with a damn LS1 swap just because I know where I can get one for cheap.

Bad o2 sensor on mine did that. Started only at low rpm then slowly got worse at all rpm.
