Then I don't understand. Even going to the 4:56's it seems like it just killed my bottom end. On the dyno it showed a loss of only 14 hp, but feels more like 50! I havent gotten to go to the track since the swap. just going by the way it feels.

maybe it something in the tune?
i know PTC sucks some kinda bad, and how are you loosing low end with a 4000 stall? What are you calling low end ?
Im running the Stock 80E converter, 3.42s, and 31" tires.. It has no low end till the turbo spools up and its off.

Huge (4000 rpm) converters are not well-matched to every setup that's out there. Lots of trucks would go slower with a converter like that, especially if it's not an efficient converter. Not knowing anything about your setup, makes it difficult for us (or anybody) to help you figure out what's wrong.
Take some time, fill out your sig. Or at least list all your mods when you ask a question like this. Esp if you want USEFULL help. Otherwise you're just pissing in the wind.
