Power Loss, Higher Egt's, Boost fine, Low idle

It has sound you just need to turn the volume it's pretty easy to hear. The issue I'm having is I only have power in overdrive because it's the only time that the RPMs drop in the torque converter locks up within the power band. I also noticed that my truck doesn't wind past about 2200 rpm's in gear even though I have a 3K gsk want to watch other videos on YouTube the trucks wind up a lot farther and then drop back down before the torque converter locks. In the second video you can see them rpm's don't drop and I'm going through all the gears they don't drop at all through shifts. Only Four clicks on the star wheel, She only Blacksmoke's before the Turbose spools up when you romp it from a dead standstill or an overdrive when it lugs from the low RPM. You can also hear the excessive turbo Whipple and I rechecked the shaft there's absolutely no play

no it only feels like you have power in OD. when i was new to the game i thought the same thing. Damn this truck is slow how do i get into OD faster. no that the truck makes 4x the hp it used to i want to stay the hell out of OD so much. the -wipple- if you will is the turbo barking. it is coughing because of the sudden lack of rpms and thus being forced to slow down. its pretty bad for a turbo. super common in an auto truck. there will only be a small drop in rpms with your truck because the tq of these things is pretty awesome. if your tranny isnt beefed up much i would invest in a shift kit and a torque converter to firm up your shifts and hold better.
who the hell is siri?

I guess I'm still getting used to it. The transmission is a fully Bult Goerend. All I know is one day the truck started behaving differently than he used to Not my Goodway been driving me crazy Ever since

All I knows the truck is not as fast as it used to be. Whenever I'm climbing a hill and step on the gas it's like I can't go anywhere but the motor will still rev up. You going to YouTube and watch any other 0 to 60 videos you will see that any truck with Gov. spring kits will Revilot higher than mine. Also Siri is an app that allows me to talk into my phone and words will show up on the screen I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not haha

If the damn RPMs would drop after each shift and torque converter would lock up at lower RPMs this thing would have twice as much power and be 10 times faster

There's not much i know to do a out the backwards air flow, it does it really bad in OD and shifting into OD. It started doing it like that when the other problems started occurring. So do I have a Trans issue or a pump issue or both? Is the questions. It revs to 2800-3000 easily enough in N, different story as you can see in gear

Recent developments, nothing has changed, truck went back to idling at around 680 in gear warmed up. Still kinda sluggish off the line as you can see from the 0-60 vid.
Side note: It's been really cold here, and in cold weather (17-30) even with 2 cycles of the grid heater, she wont start up with out holding my foot on the pedal. Manually high idle it for about 6-10 sec's then it idles by itself, but really low for probably 1min or more. If I trie to drive it without letting it idle for less than a min or 2, it will miss on acceleration and pour white smoke. Behaves normally after about 5 mins of warm up.
At this point I don't know if there is even anything actually wrong with the truck or if I'm just going crazy. Other than a weak pump and a bad TC, all I can think of is the Governor springs were just never tuned right, that or, low compression which I doubt because the truck has 0 blow-by.
