Ok I got the facts truck was a crew cab with aluminum 5.3 ported and milled 799s with a 224r cam. It went 13.6 @ 107 stock stall and 13.3@101 with 3200 fuddle. Truck has 4.10s as well. That's a huge drop in mph I don't c how that is possible?

Yes it can happen, depending on the efficiency of the convertor. The less efficient the convertor, the more slippage it will have and slippage = less power to the rear. Yes you may come out of the hole quicker with a cheapie B&M over stock, but I promise you that you will know the difference between it and a truly quality unit (efficient) on the top end!
Definitely not saying it’s your friend’s issue, especially at his power level, but I’ve seen quite a few high HP cars blow through even a good convertor.

Yeah that's what he ran the aluminum 5.3s come with flat tops I believe and with milled and ported 799s it made some power. I just bought a circle d tb converter restalled to 3-3200 hope I don't lose anything.

i hate how everyone stresses on mph. regardless of mph its the time. i ran 11.5 at 115. no one ever focused on my time just how low my mph was. they dont realize if there a second slower then me but mph a little higher that means i have a second longer to gain more mph lol
