its possible not familiar with the powewr band of that cam but the stall ajust be too small and the power starts much higher.

I agree, you just changed the torque curve of the engine and now the converter does not have as much low end power. You need a higher stall converter to take advantage of the new cam.

I'd bet money that is the problem. A 3800-4000 stall would let the cam come alive. My son ran into the same problem with his Silverado after a cam change. That issue is being corrected with a new Circle D custom billet 258mm converter It's gonna be rolling hard very soon

A converter will take care of this but you might check the cam install to make sure it was not installed in a retarted state as some extra advance might help your bottom end torque loss.
