Default Need diagnosis ASAP

I have a buyer coming to get my Camaro on Wednesday, and I've just finished doing some work on it which includes new air intake customs made, removal of exaust currently running open y pipe new radiator and lt4 knock module

Now the issue is that for the first several minutes the car drives great but after alittle driving it will cut out when I accelerate, the issue seems to stop if I keep the rpms up slightly higher then idle. I have to get this fixed quick or he may back out. Tried disconnecting the battery for an hour, still same issue

So.performance suck when it goes.into close loop? Your going to need to view live data to come up with a better idea what's.going on. Could be anything from o2 to MAF need to scan and view first. Not enough info to help you out.

No codes, theyre plugged in and I haven't had rear 02 for years now, it feels like the maf but I can't figure out y it would only do it once it's been on the road, and it doesn't start directly when closed loop starts aswell

Second MAF sensor, probably fucked up when you swapped the intake setup.

Not sure if you have front O2's.. if you do then unplug them and drive around again.
