Default Need help with random shut off

I just bought a 95 Gt with a kenne bell supercharger, I had to replace the head gaskets (first time i've done it) I got it all back together turned the key and the car started right up, it idles solid for about 2 minutes then just shuts off. I have good oil pressure and fuel pressure. Once the car starts to die if I touch the gas the car pops and still dies. Any advice?

I guess I would call it sharp the tach goes from around 900-1000 right to 0, I know 900 is high its got a cam and some other stuff done to it and thats the way its been since I got it. It dosn't seem fuel related but I'm going to check that right now.
