Default rpms take some time to kick???

I wanted to know if there are any experts on LT1's, for I have a 96' ws6 and here is what is in it:

External Engine
Hurst Short Shifter
K&N replacement ram-air filter
SLP smooth bellows
Removed E.G.R.
Removed A.I.R.
Pacesetter Ceramic-coated Longtube headers
Summit Racing 3” True Dual System
Powersticks 18" mufflers
March Under-drive pulley
BBK 52mm Twin Throttle body
NGK TR55 spark plugs
Taylor 8.0mm Plug wires
MSD Ignition Coil
Summit Racing Opti-Spark Distributor
Racetronix 225lph Fuel pump
GM Zexel Torsen 7.5” Differential
Motive 4.10 Ratio Ring and Pinion
T/A Performance Girdle Cover
Summit Racing Full Rear Install Kit
PCMforLESS computer tuning

Internal Engine
Comp hardened 7.200” Pushrods
Crane .060” Valvespring seats
Crane Double valvesprings
Crane Gold Self Aligning 1.6 ratio Roller rockers
Comp valvespring retainers
Comp 10° valvespring locks
Comp XE 230/236 .510/.520 112 LSA Camshaft
GM Heavy Duty Solid roller timing chain
Thunder Racing camshaft swap gaskets


For example, when in first the rpms going from 1500-2500 studders and take some time to get up there, but once at 3k, you can feel it kick in, but I usually shift at 2500, and it defeats the purpose. Basically, if there are any mechanics or experts on my LT1's, around the chicago-land area, that would be willing to look at it and give it a diagnostics and some info to make it run smoother, id appreciate it and be willing to meet and pay for what it is to help solve the problem, thanks!
