Default 3rd Gear Problems

Hi guys,

I don't know if this is the wrong forum or not, but I have a RCSB 2wd with a 5.3l and a ProCharger D1-SC. It absolutely screams in first and second gear and will spin through both gears. When it shifts to third it bogs the hell out of it and it takes forever to get into boost. I am wondering if it is just spinning way too much and when it shifts into third the actual vehicle speed is going too slow for the gear? Or perhaps the convertor is locked up too soon in third?

Do any other Centrifugal guys have this problem? It is at 13 psi with a 4" pulley. I think the convertor is just locked up too quick or maybe my second gear shift point is too low? Just looking for some input.

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like the converter is locking
