do you have any mods, ie: intake, t/b? just from the info u gave me which isnt much by the way, id say a t/b would help that problem a lil bit, u might also look into an aftermarket filter and lid assembly....u might try explaining a little more in depth

Are you stopped or going from a roll? Is there a certain RPM range that is particularly sluggish? These cars have a bit of a dead spot from about 30 mph to 55 mph but that can be taken care of with some goodies

has the throttle response been poor the whole time you have had the car or is just starting...because if you are use to a 406 motor and stepping down to a ls1..that could explain it
