LOL wut?

I would stop running the juice until you get that thing in the 15s NA or you're going to break something.

I had a similar lack of power problem, I had no Idea what was wrong, (no codes at all) then one day I got a O2 code, I disconnected the wire to the 1-2 sensor to make sure I had the right one, and it must have beeen 30 or 40 HP stronger, put a new O2 in and now no "lack of power" problem anymore, hope this helps, you may want to put a scanner on it and check your fuel trims and O2 sensor voltages,

whats the correct fuel trim supposed to be??

On mine the long term fuel trim runs from about 0 to -7.0, when you reset the pcm it resets the adaptives, so it will read the LT Trim for a while then adapt that out, and start trimming again from that point(at least that's how I understand it) The ST TRIM and LT TRIM should be real close between left and right bank, and no more than 10% + or -

hmmm. sounds interesting. Explain a little more. So was running slow... Unpluged the o2 sensor and ran faster? was teh sensor bad? and im not throwing any codes.

Oh Yes the sensor was bad, that O2 sensor was the best "mod" I have done. get yourself a scan tool, learn how to use it, It will pay off in the long run,

I have sct. they say they scan.

I have sct. they say they scan.Only for diagnostic codes though. No real time data.

X2 what Intense said, you need a tool that will show you "Live Data" I got mine from Advance Auto, got it on sale for like $140. it records data too, its kind of nice to hit record make a run then go back and see what the PCM was doing. I do think if I had that tool earlier I would have found that O2 problem, if you don't want to buy one I would find a mechanic to hook his up and just see if anything looks wrong, Gwyn

Ok I will try to expain more, bought the truck,drove home 500m. , next day Ist start BLEW UP, repaired engine, Back on the road BUT I have no baseline whatsoever, I thoght it was ok while breaking it in, soon found out it was down on power, ran 10.2 in the 1/8 mile, ran that way for 4 months I checked everthing I knew to, then O2 code, fixed , then 9.6 1/8 mile, wow that's half a second.
WHEW !

PS since than run 9.2x, but (your gonna hate this) DA was 1100ft. below sea level.
