13.0 is too lean. check fuel pump voltage, check fuel pump, check wiring.

Tell us more about your set-up. Fbody I would assume? Without knowing much it sounds like a pump, but could be a line leaking ever so slightly.

Devil is in the details.

Found out why my car ran ****. Found out you do not run race gas with cats. The cats were all melted and jammed in my y pipe. So I just want people to know that race gas is a NO NO.

i'm betting the cat temp protect portion of your tune was off. never heard/seen that before, but I don't have cats.
