so over the weekend my dad ran the car cause i have no licence yet.first pass he had .216 light a 2.05 60ft. 9.08 eighth mile at 75.80 mph and a 14.14 at 97.55.
second pass-.122 red.
2.108 60ft
9.141 eighth mile at 77.09 mph
14.216 at 97.11 mile an hour

If its a tuned ls1 with a cold air intake/exhaust your missing about 7-11mph and around a full second off the et. Now if your at at 4400ft the times will make sense.
Whats your location?
Who did the motor swap?
Are you sure its not a LT1,a maybe a high milage one? (100k+). It would make sense if it is and a auto 2.73 gear but otherwise you are having some issues.
The 1/8 mile and 1/4 mile traps is on the lower end, but the et for 97 mph is normal.
There is much room for improvement. Tell us more info.

My '94, with just headers, drag radials, cold air, and a short throw shifter ran consistent 8.6s at 81mph in the 1/8 mile...
I suspect that "performance exhaust" is a cat back system and not headers... Headers will make a fair difference in performance.
A set of drag radials will help get the sixty foot time down as well as a gear change to 3.73s.
The '94 does not come with a "chip" but is a flash programmable computer.
If you actually have an LS1 engine you have a whole additional set of problems since the LS1, out of the box, is quicker than the LT1 by a measurable amount...
