Is a '93 LT1 any quicker than a '93 LT1

I suspect that a 93 LT1 will be just as quick as a 93 LT.
If you were talking about the difference between a 92 and a 93, which has a slightly different cam profile, I'd imagine the difference would be very hard to detect.

Not enough to notice difference between them in performance but noise is different.
The 92 has magnesium valve covers and a different cam profile - it creates more valve train noise than the 93 and later LT1 engines.
The 93 and later LT1 engines has composite valve covers that are taller and muffle the noise better - along with the different cam profile.
There are other quirks about the 92 that were addressed by later models. The 92 may have fuel line hammer - there was a recall or TSB for this as I recall. Something about the fuel line mounts not isolated from the chassis enough - the pulses of the injectors caused the fuel lines to thump. Was not considered a problem - just a noise and vibration issue.
Then there is the double sided belt - grooves on both sides. That went away early in the 93 production.
