Is it directly related to the stall? 2800 will try to move at 2800 rpm's? Or is there an rpm that the stock converter tries to go at, and we check if it goes higher than that?

This method got me to 1800 RPMs before my truck wanted to go forward pretty good.
Any ideas?
Oh, and I also measured my fender lip. It measures 36.5 in the rear and 36.75 in the front. Is this a 2/4 drop or just leveled?

Found my answer
For those of you following, I got up with 21st Century Motorsports. Here is what he sent me:
"Hi Steve,
The motor is stock, the transmission was built by Circle D in Houston .
The tune is basically stock but has a transmission tune from Circle D
The internals on motor is stock
Best Regards,
John Page
Twenty First Century Muscle Cars"
I would guess Circle D wouldn't throw in a trans without a stall though, huh?

If it's pulling on you at 1800 it probably has a stock stall. Most aftermarket converters will start mid 2k's if not higher. On the TBSS's, it's usually 2800-3600 depending on what you get.
As for AWD dyno's, T1 in Rowlett has one, as well as Kan Tuning in Lewisville. Kan usually does imports, but was running a GM special a while back. There are a TON of good tuners locally, so do your research and meet a few.
You don't have to get a dyno tune, either. A street tune could prove more practical in the long run... or a dyno tune to get it squared away and then street tune for fine tuning.
ADM performance, Kan Tuning, & HPP are all in Lewisville
LG/GSS are in Wylie
True Street is in McKinney, IIRC.
You could also do a mail order tune like PCM4less, but you won't have the local convenience.

This is what I got from Circle D Specialties about the stall.
"I assume that is the 6 speed transmission. It looks like I built them a 265mm 10.5" multi disk. It will be a fairly tight stall, probably about a 2500 flash RPM. You need to contact Circle D Trans for that info. A phone call works well for them -713-895-7019.

It has a stall, probably I was doing the test wrong. They have invoices on my truck, and he only took the engine and brakes.

To the others wondering if I ever got my lower grille... I did. The dealership said they knew nothing about it, but bought it for me with little to no debate. I will go to Home Depot to grab some liquid nails to put on the inside of it, so it goes nowhere!
