Re: new combo missing a bunch of power?
convertor....nothing will make a turd out of a stout combo like the wrong or damaged convertor can.
just a guess.... but what worked before is not getting it near the powerband now

Re: new combo missing a bunch of power?
This sounds so obvious that I hesitate to post it......
Have you rechecked your cam timing?????

Re: new combo missing a bunch of power?
Not the converter.
With NO stator ,it would run about 12.0h @ about 125 ! Put it in manual 3rd gear, and flash the converter.Not going to hurt anything at that power level.

Re: new combo missing a bunch of power?
Back in the early 70s I broke a B + M convertor and my Cuda lost about 3 tenths, it wouldn't stall much past idle.

Re: new combo missing a bunch of power?
i can check stall on the transbrake right? and i can tell you it will go to 4500 easily on the brake because thats where the 2 step is but it drops a ton of rpm inbetween gears. could line pressure or trans being over full cause this type of issue? the fact that it still leaves is what makes me think the sprag is ok. i was considering raising the 2 step to 6500 and seeing where the converter stopped it. could a bad msd box cause this type of problem? the only things that aren't new are the box and plug wires. so they're pretested but 6-7 years old when everything else is relatively new.
