first time at track not to impressed
Just have them hook up a wideband to it to make sure its not running super lean or super rich. That would kill all your power if its doing either one and potential damage your engine.
I could only launch at about 1500 with the stock torque converter so with a higher stall it will definitely do better. It just doest feel like it has any low end it pulles a lot harder on the top end but by then its too late. With a set of gears and higher stall will really wake it up.

What was the 1/8th MPH - so we know what you're picking up in the back half. I just can't see poor gearing/no stall being that weak.

Yeah something is Off my old LT1 back in the day trapped 110 with a LT4 Hotcam,CAI,and Shorty's.Like everyone else said Dyno and Log it,Check for Fuel Pressure,A/F,Timing,Detonation,Knock Retard,Miss Fires,Valve float,Etc....
Stock converter isn't going to result in stock to lower than stock trap speeds - still something far off. We all know ET isn't a good indicator of power, but the trap speed really tells he's not making anywhere near the power he should, stock converter or otherwise.
