So either he's full of ****, can't drive, or both. LT1s are not slow, contrary to what you may believe. They have the same potential as an old school gen 1 350, and the same potential as your LS1 motor.

The ones around here run mid-low 11's at best. Those are the race cars.

Mine was running good when I took it off at 150k, it had never been touched. The inside looked like ****, but any distributor that utilizes a cap and rotor needs them to be changed periodically. However coil pack setups are much better
My opti has 121,000 miles on it as does the water pump! (new ones coming for the race season) LT1s are very stout motors, For petes sake, there are ******* SBCs they will run forever! I love my LT1, it has nice low end grunt and the mods are coming!
Oh yeah my LS1 ain't no slack either!

I take it you're running regular OEM optisparks (I'm unaware if autoparts place carries optisparks in the GP soresen flavor)??? Unvented correct? I agree that the unvented ones suck major *****, but the vented ones do seem to have a higher success rate..

He thought it ran 11's before we raced. Something had to of been wrong with it, untuned or something. Kills a kill.
