Consider testing the fuel injectors and/or running a quality fuel system cleaner in heavy concentration with just a gallon or two. Are you sure you dont have any check-engine codes? What brand of plugs & wires did you use? Did you check the plug gaps?

Seafoam!!! will at least help clean up any bad stuff still in there. I know its helped my idle before. Might help out here. 1/3 in gas tank, 1/3 in crank case, 1/3 through brake booster line.

i used ngk and i gapped them to .44 i might end up testing the fuel system but i forgot to mention that it flashes an oil light when it fires up

I would say the oil light coming on might be the oil pick-up tube thats clogged or the oil pump is giving out, but I believe that would cause intermittent performance issues and not just once the cars warmed up.
