check your O2 sensors, now that you've got better air flow, you could've burnt one or both of them. Also, make sure all your sensors dealing with air flow are clean. I'd also consider replacing the TPS

Throttle positioning sensor. if the little arm inside of it breaks the car will rev up, then let off, then rev up, then let off. You get the picture.

change that sensor and it should fix it, or at least take it off and look at it. google it as I've never changed it on an LS1. also, I'm sure everyone is tired of reading me post this, but clean the IAT sensor. that is another possible cause here. DON'T USE WD-40!!! use throttle body cleaner.

Why didnt oyu put the egr line back on? if nothing else you should cap it Im sure that could easily cause idle problems with the engine sucking in random amounts of air.
