Sounds like it's an animal, just out of curiosity, which cam are you running? and who did you get the 2400 stall convertor from? I'm running the 46RE/A518 with the high (low numerically) first gear and my truck could use a little help getting out of the hole, I think that's my biggest disadvantage and largest deficit in my 1/4 mile times... Thanks!
