when the truck shifts into 3rd gear its like it falls on its face, even after getting a live tune with allen nelson. just raced a lightening and held him off pretty good until i hit 3rd!! What could be causing this???

 

i think it might be the converter, because its falling from 6500 shift point to 4500 entering 3rd. also what has been the falling off point on the ls1 intakes, i know they are the same as the truck maybe just a lil better. isnt it like 5800 or 5900

 

Hmmmmmm....that's a good question dude. Just from what you've posted, I'll have to say the converter too. I'd say you may need a diffrent stall speed.

 

bigger stall

get rid of that TCi either way you go...

 

I've often wondered why TCI's converters fall all to hell after very minimal usage.

 

they're known for having more problems than the others that everyone on the site uses

 

What did it dyno and what Lightning did you race?

 

well the yank that i had even done this but not as bad!!!
Bens new silver one

 

No dyno numbers? Hmmm, So Ben passed you at about 90? Did yall go from a roll or a dig? Did he put that sticker on his truck?

 

nope no #'s!!!!! yea about 90 because my 3rd gear right now.... and ive heard he's told people he was playing with it beside me, thats not true, when he was beside me i had to stand on the brakes to keep from hitting a car in the *** end. we went from a 30 roll. yea it says HERE HEMI HEMI. Just wait im gonna take him out once i get this lined out...... he'll have to take that sticker off if i bet him......lol
