Default Is this normal?

I installed a vig 3600 multidisc and lost 3mph and now when I run from a roll I get beat by guys who I use to beat pretty easily.

I have been getting misfires but I pulled the vavle covers and everything is ok except the rockers seem to wiggle a little. I dont really thing all of them could be bad however the converter had been running it up close to 6300 and hitting the rev limiter a lot...

BTW I have read that misfires are normal with converters but Im getting like 6-8 total misfires are idle and when I rev is to like 2500 i get around 35 total. They are pretty much random. It this normal. I read the fix sticker and it was already done.

before the converter the car ran 12.5's with a 1.95 60' now it runs 12.5's with a 1.80 60' but it was about 30* cooler w/o the converter. Do you think something is wrong.

The differece in weight of the converter throws the computer off with the misfire table. I turned off my misfire detection to eliminate converter issues. Is your torque management enabled. If it is you could be looseing some power by timing decreases.

and dont worry about the rocker arm wiggle. some may move side to side or not depending on the pushrod being up or not
