so just got my trans rebuilt after breaking my billet input shaft ( i know weird for my low power level) and destroyed the hub in the converter, so i replaced the shaft and converter but the "dude"( aka A-hole) had some kind of "hook-up" with the converter shop and now my truck is gut less, i mean i got beat off the line by a titan, garbage, just frustrated and wonder what the hell is going on anyone have any ideas?

I think your tc is shot. Id look into a BD, Goerend, etc triple disc converter. I think the factory stall is 15 to 17

Too high of a stall isn't always a bad thing...a higher stall will let your turbo spool faster especially if you have an aftermarket turbo....but sounds to me like that's the problem not so much as the stall but just a bad converter all together call Dave he'll hook you up

it could very well be that you have a higher stall in your tc. i have a 3400 stall in my sled puller. this makes it easier to build boost before i start the sled.

well that makes sense cause i pull about 32lbs when i launch and i get nowhere. Contacted "dude" and says that he can refund the converter so i should tell him what? make sure that the stall is around/at/near?
