    Well I have an update after putting 1500 miles on it.

    The new engine runs good. But it seems to lack some of the low end grunt that I want. It takes a bit of RPM and throttle to get it moving. And seems to always need a lot of throttle to keep it moving up hills. It seems that it sometimes has trouble getting into OD while cruising. Is this a product of my cam, torque converter, gears, maybe all three? It is fast from 3k RPM and up.

    5500 lb ECSB truck
    4wd
    32 or 33in tall tires on 18 wheels
    383 cubic inch
    3.73 gears
    220/220 .556/.556 114lsa
    4L60E running a shift kit & Trailblazer I-6 Torque Converter
    3.73 gears


    what do you guys think?
