Default after 80e swap second slips

im runnin a rebuilt 80e transmission with a jakes performance manual control box and 3800 stall converter.. and it pulls hard in first and third but in second when you floor it, you can tell the transmission is slippin.. so im wondering if their is somethin i can try without pullin the trany out.

if for some reason the clutches are smoked whats a good rebuild kit with good clutches that will hold 500hp?
