check fuel pressure, check for burnt spark plug wires, check/change your spark plugs if they look bad, clean MAF (or unplug and see how it runs without it) just basic items first. If those all check out, look into either you ICM or your optispark

Whenever problems like this arise keep in mind it's either fuel related or ignition related and LT1's are notorious for having problems on both sides. Usually when a problem like this arises where the car will barely idle it's the fuel pump or a loose opti rotor.
