Default feels like throttle sticking...

Finally got to pull the car out of the garage today and take it for a spin after installing the headers making sure everything was ok before I have the duals put on....well I took it down the road holy crap it was loud but everything seemed ok until I let off the gas....its hard to explan but its like I'm pushing in the gas pedal then letting off over and over with a jerking feeling until I put my foot on the gas and it calms down..what could be making it do this?

Have you done a throttle body bypass? And what is the temperature outside?

Yeh thats not cold enough for the throttle blades to stick. Your always going to have some oil under the throttle plate, but not a lot. If you have puddle and it's dripping in the intake, I could see how the engine might "cough." See if the PCV valve is still working. Put your finger on the end with the car on and listen for a click.

clean the throttle blades and bore. get some carb cleaner or brake clean and spray it out really good. oil residue causes them to stick quite a bit
