mine ran 13.3 my first run ever with the car, i was letting off for the shifts because my trans was acting funny and didn't wanna WOT shift, i was being stupid, im just glad i didn't hit a valve letting off and smashing back on, and he just bought the car on Sunday, after my first run i couldn't get traction, it was February 14th and i couldn't get them to prep it
the cobra is freaking fast, it was moving but i was about to hit 4k in third and was gonna pull hard, then we let out
yeah probably, im just tired of smelling like fuel every time i go somewhere LOL, who cares how it runs when ladies are always asking why you smell like fuel, but like i said i just bought a focus. so no tune till i sell some stuff off my parts car
my ls6 intake needs seals, and my motor needs ls6 cooling lines and block offs for the back, 100$ for those and the tune at most be like 350$
lets recap that i did give him the hit because of the passenger, i was trying to avoid excuses,

Get it on the dyno and do a comparison. Those stock 96-98 MAF's are good until ~360rwhp. I pegged mine at 355. With stock cubes, cams, and 14.7 atmospheric pressure, the motor is not going to pull in more air in because someone increased the a small piece of a cylinder by 12% upstream.
Those MAF's are not a choke point on a stock motor. Now the intake on teh other hand....

lol. So you're judging it based on how it spins the tires on the street? Not like outside temp, rpm shift point, or asphalt type would have anything to do with it too.

i have a pretty crappy oil pan leak, put the motor in 10weeks ago didnt know it was leaking because it sat in a wrecked car for months, but as for the lifter i already changed the oil and cleaned metal off the drain plug, not sure that is fixable, i think its just really "effed" i was debating on syntech but i dont wanna change oil brands at 205k and create a different problem

Good info, MACHX! I had to look up some of the **** you mentioned, but I get your end point, lol.
The HITMAN effect, runs worse with mods! Tell him, hammer!
When the outcome isn't how you dreamed it would be, something is always "off" 
Headers, lid, catback, UD pulley, tune for the EL LESS WON
Headers, UD pulleys, gears, shifter, CAI, tune for the 4.6
I'm sorry you guys really give the LS1 more credit than it deserves. It's a good engine, not groundbreaking. I like them, though. The owners are why I could never be a "GM guy". Too many cavemen for me.
