"No throttle response" like "wouldn't go above idle", or "very sluggish"?

Other symptoms?
Warning lights?
Any DIC messages?

Not sure on standard LS2 and LS3 cars, but have heard of this on dry sump LS7 cars. Seems, if the oil is overfilled, tends to suck it through the PVC system into the air intake. There's Charcoal emission tabs glued in there, that tend to loosen when oil soaked. These have been known to get caught in the MAF screen, causing what you've described. Couldn't hurt to undo the intake tube, for a look.
