Default car runs like crap when i first start it

hey guys i just recently bought a ek with a ls in it, it runs great after i drive in for a couple mins , but when i first start it ,it boggs down and has no power the more gas i give it, the more it bogs down. if i stay on the gas it will clear up and take off i thought it might be my o2 sensor theres 2 on my car but no check engine light. im running a sohc ecu. what can be causeing this , i have a buddy that is haveing the same problem in his sohc
