That 80E is a big, heavy, transmission that will suck up some power.
On the flip side it won't need a rebuild in 20k.
You could try a smaller stall, with the supercharger your probably makin good power lower in the RPM band and the smaller stall would let you use it more.

The conerter is for the 80 for the ls1 so i dont need the indexing ring. the 60 converters wont work as far as i know.
i know the 80e is heavy and will suck power but its just a huge pig!!!

Did you get the converter before the blower and when you picked it up did they know the car had/was going to get a blower? If not that is your problem there it may be a converter that was oroiginally made for an NA setup. I'd get a new converter if that is the case.
