They are pretty easy to find online. I would also take a look at the front 02's, but you said no code is being given.
Might consider a tune. How many degrees of overlap is your cam built for.

96 Lt1's are MAF not speed density, correct? In that case I would also look at cleaning the MAF sensor, changing the fuel filter. Considering it has some engine mods, I would look into a fuel pressure guage just for future issues.
I would also inspect the TB to make sure everthing is sealing properly. If it is ported some of the screws may have came loose. Truthfully, it sounds like a vacum leak since you are not getting an SES light. If you can borrow a TPS I would try that out also.

Man i have looked every and mean every where for a vacum leak cant find one this is really hurting my head i checked last nite for that vacum leak today ill do the tps and let u no thanks brother for the info
Also, try cleaning the IAC, just be careful with it. Sorry about jumping around so much, just havn't worked on an LT1 in ages.
Lastly, fuel filter, and I would recommend installing an under hood fuel pressure guage. Helps alot in these situations.
Does it miss any when cruising once warm?
