ok here goes: stock tuning, cats, shortys, 4.10's, LS-1 Intake

That about sums it up. things in bold are most important as far as power robbing goes. Cant expect the best with a half-assed setup, sorry man

Stock tune has something to do with it as you're running really rich. Don't feel too bad though, I'm about 11.8:1 through the whole powerband, lol. Did you dyno on a Mustang dyno or Dynojet though? That can make a huge difference.

Get some long tubes, an LS6 intake, a real tune and you should see 380-390 at the wheels.
