procharged ls1 running slow

Just took my car to the track was disappointed in my 12.8 run.the motor is a stock bottom end with ls6 intake 1.8 roller rockers patriot gold valve springs running 9 lbs of boost. At wot my wideband read 10.2. I have a p0300 code thrown. I'm wondering if the problem is in the tune. Thinking I might get a cam and y pipe and get a speed density tune but I would think my car would be running a high 11 sec quarter mile the way it is now. Any info would be a great help.

What they said ^^^ and what cam are you running with the 1.8 rockers. Might be pushing some boost down the exhaust as well.

would love to go over that tune and see whats up. how is your fueling on the car? injectors/pump etc....I never saw if you mentioned what cam you were running. you could also be having belt problems. there is a group purchase on the aster bracket which will solve that going on now. its def worth having if you plan on making any serious power.

Welcome to the club. I am on my phone so you won't see my sig. I have a 00 SS with full boltons, running a F1A with about 7 psi. I ran a 12.70 at 110 and a second 12.70 at 116. I was having overheating issues. I noticed my fan was not plugged in so car computer was pulling timing. I have a 6speed with a best 60 of 2.25. Haven't returned to the track.
