Slow Off Start?? (Optispark)?

A few weeks ago, i pulled out my 1994 Camaro Z28 and it started up fine. Then i went up and down the drive way a few times and i felt a hesitation. Then it began back firing. I think it is the optispark but i am not sure. Then i pulled it out yesturday and the problem seemed to go away after it ran for a while but i wanted to really see if she was fine so i drove it up the street and tried to burn out off the start a few times but it didnt seem to have the power. I was wondering if maybe it was due to the optispark? If anyone could help that would be great thanks.

How long did it sit? Long enough for bad gas? Some times mine (although it's not lt1) runs a little rough and maybe misfires a bit after I get it out of storage. Just a thought.

I actually put new gas in it, becasue i bought it and let it sit for like 2 months but the guy before me might have had it sitting for a while cause it was unregistered when i bought it. I don't think the water pump is leaking because there aren't any wet spots or steam coming from the motor.
