I imagine you are running extremely rich if still untuned.

3700 stall is prolly tooo loose...exspecially for an lt1...with that small of a cam and that small a motor youd want like 3500 maybe 3800 for n/a and prolly 3200 for juice
exspecially with 3.73...and you can take it to 5500 when braking in...i like to break it in like you use it...it seems to me if you dont when you do abuse it wont take it
