don't get mad what ever ya do it takes time and alot of figuring things out.
what is ur timing at on take off?
what does it go to after you r rolling?
where r u shifting at is it to high r not high enough?
what r u crossing at (rpm)?
where r u stalling to to take off?
u need to step back a look at it all over a like said before pen and paper is ur friend with this hobby write everything down temps.,launch rpm's,shift points,timing,tire size and pressure.
then make some changes to timing and shift points and go at it again.can't give up then it wins.

yeah the cam might be a little big for such a heavy truck. but im gonna start with a converter and up the shifts and see where that gets me. but if im still not happy with it i will go with either the FTI rebel-tq or hellfire-tq. il definitely take a pen and paper with me next time i go to the track and get some information. instead of just looking at the timeslip and getting pissed lol

I'm just curious, but why would you change converters before even figuring out your current problem. Unless I'm missing it, have you really went through and checked the tune over? That converter should be plenty for what you're trying to do with it. Would a 3600 be better, yes, but what you have is enough. I'm betting you have a lack of timing and an afr problem that is way off. From 3000rpm on up your 228r with a 111LSA should be making more torque all the way through. If you managed to pull the same 60', everything from there on out should have been better if you were in fact making alot more power as you should be.
