sounds like a tight vs. loose converter. I still don't like the feel of my Vigalante 2800
but the car is faster at WOT

This man is 100% right. My friends Jetta feels quick and it's maybe 220 whp. Never driven it, but I know it isn't fast by any means.

2800 in a LS is mild as hell, not sure how you feel it at all. I barely feel my 3600

This could be due to a shift kit.
Also, the shifts on stalled autos without a shift kit or tuning feel very soft.

This reminds me of the first time I drove an lt1 z from a local dealer, guy was like you can get on it a little once we get up the road.. I was happy to do so, but after I did I thought the dude was going to **** himself on a 30-90 pull.. Sorry I know that's not much help

Everything feels faster in the passenger seat. I'm with the others in thinking its the stall. My friend's 11 sec nova feels slow AF till he is going all out. he has a 3500 stall
