Poor idling...

I was sitting at a light today, when some jerkoff in an old v6 camaro starts revving his engine like he wants to play. I gave the engine a couple good revs, and when the light turns green, wuss-boy turns off. A minute later I got to where I was going, and noticed that the car is idling between 400-900 rpms. It will go up then down and when it's idling steady at whatever rpm, it's rough. Any ideas????

My intake was cracked and taped up, so I replaced it this afternoon with a new one($68) and it did not help at all. I'm wondering if I might have floated some valves and bent them??
