Default need help please

i just put the edge juice with attitude on my 1998.5 cummins and its a 5 speed and when i step on it and get to about 2,000 rpm it just like revs out and doesnt pull anymore but if i just ease into the throttle its fine could this be my throttle position sensor or does anyone know whats causing this.

Yeah, the converter in my 47re felt great before I started doing holeshots with 150hp injectors........ do you see where I'm going with this?

I hear ya, my stock 47re shifts hard works great but wants none of the edge comp even w/o pump wire tap.

If your RPMs jump and your speed doesnt move, you're slipping somewhere. Which would be the clutch in your case.
