Got a decent problem. Got me Stumped. I bought my T/A with what it has a month ago and its got a odd little problem.
The car used to have a Supercharger on it. It has RC Racing injectors and a high stall. Heres my problem and question. I can stall it up to 2700 RPM no problem but I can't press the gas pedal all the way down and it never moves the Tach or the car, literally it hits the floor and nothing. I can't burnout. It stuggles to move if below 3000 RPM. I have to shift it manually from 1-D in order to help it along, once it hits 3000RPM it really moves but below that it is a dog. It wastes gas like crazy, we are talking 153 Miles to a tank where's everyone's elses LS1 auto's are getting 260+.
I think it may have to much of a stall but I am only guessing. Any ideas??? I love the car but damn it is a pain to have to shift it or down shift it just to make her move.

What's the flow rate for the injectors, sounds like the injectors are too big (or maybe are putting out too much fuel) for the engine now that it doesn't have the supercharger on it.
Has it been retuned since the SC has been removed, if not you might want to take it and have it tuned (or do it yourself if you have the software)

I don't think it is the converter. If there was something wrong with the converter it would work fine or obviously not move at all.
Maybe too much fuel has been going through the engine?
Do the cats get superhot?
Is the oil superblack?

The fluid in the tranny is fine. It is clean and full. The injectors are of unknown size. Anyone know how to check what size they are? The car moves great above 3000RPM but under like I said it sucks. I will check the cats tomarrow.

If you can see a p/n on the injectors, maybe RC injectors can tell you what the flow rate is.
