Re: BIG PROBLEM Stock stall speed is 1800-1900RPM on the LS-1
F-body torque converter.
Any degradation of engine output will make your
effective foot-stall RPM lower.
But we don't know what was normal, "before",
for this car. It doesn't sound like anything
unusual for a stock vehicle, offhand.

Re: BIG PROBLEM How often do you power brake...?
Possibly may have broken something or bent the TC fins; the TC is loading your engine down and not letting it rev higher (assuming your engine is not suffering from power loss).
