Default Any Ideas?

Im having some problems with my 98 Z28. Had the motor rebuilt and replaced the tranny in my and the cam that was put in it required a pretty high stall. So a Yank 3600 was put in. I was told with a 2.73 gear in the rear end not to put it into overdrive (or it will burn up overdrive) so when i drive it i keep it in drive. while im driving it and when it gets into drive it pretty much falls on its face and shakes like a ****, but when i let off the gas for a few seconds it stops. It goes through the gears way to quick and dosnt stay stalled up. And when i drove it friday i got on it about half throttle and i thought that the tranny was gunna blow cause it was shakin so bad. Any ideas of what it could be? My brother suggested a shift kit. Any help will be appreciated, Thanks- Zach

Have you had your car tuned for the new converter and motor/cam combination? How does the car run? Misfires? Any codes? Need some more info. Vince

It has a mail order tune from pcmforless.

From what i can tell the motor runs strong with no misfires. Check eninge light is on but havnt gotten a chance to chek the codes on it.
