Car idling like CRAP, no low end power

ok, i have an 85 GSL-SE

13b
Streetport
Weber Sidedraft
Racing Beat intake and header
2.5 exhaust all the way back

this thing idles like crap it feels like it has a miss, and has almost no power when you lightly press the gas, and under 2500 RPM... at WOT or over 3000 RPM it runs like a bat out of hell...

what could be the issue here...

it also sputters when cruising at a steady speed under 3000 RPM...

i put new plugs/wires in this weekend, seemed to help a little, but not 100% right yet...
