Any check engine lights? Could be a misfire, could be running out of fuel.

Do LT1's have inline fuel filters that are replaceable?

What do the plugs looks like?

Yes.

I would look into the coil, and or, high res failure on opti.

But, since you are with the car, and we are not... start testing.

I agree do gas filter first. If not the filter hook up a fuel pressure gauge outside your windshield, if pressure drops at 4k its your fuel system if pressure is good it's in the ignition system.
