Help with inconsistency

Been chasing this problem for over a month now on my 01 camaro.

It's basically a stock bottom end ls1, th350 and a 12 bolt. I raced it all last year with no problems and parked it in October after the last race. During the offseason I moved the battery to the trunk, cleaned my fuel sending unit (gas gauge didn't work), changed my front springs, changed fluids, added water temp and trans temp gauge.

First time out I go 6 tenths slow and 5 mph slow in the 1/8. 60' was close to normal but moved around the next couple passes. First thing I noticed leaving off the line my rpms would jump close to 6k and not 4900 where my flash is and making it hard to hit the 1-2 shift. First thing we do is take the trans and converter out and get them both checked and was told they both look good.

Since then I've put in a new fuel sending unit (thought maybe I damaged the old one taking it out), new fuel filter and tested all the injectors. The fuel pressure is at 52psi with the key on. We ran it the other weekend and the 60' is pretty close to what it should be but the e/t is still off and leaving off the line the converter gets up to around 5500 leaving off the line and still making it hard to hit the 1-2 shift.

I can also tell I can raise the rpms higher then normal at the starting line. Does it sound like this is a converter/trans problem? Or could it be a wiring issue from the battery relocation.
