Okay. I've just completed my head swap. I installed PRC 5.2L stage 2.5 heads on my LS1 engine. When I was pulling my passenger side head off my dumb *** didn't disconnect the bracket holding the trans dip stick tube onto the head. So I pulled out the tube leaking probably close to a quart of trans fluid. When I did my test drive I had forgotten about losing the trans fluid. When I went WOT at take off I hit the rev limiter. Question is could this have been from the low fluid level or could it be because I need to get a re-tune after the head install? I had this same thing happen when my tranny was about to take a dump so I had it rebuilt. Hadn't had any more problems with rev limiter since the tranny rebuild until the head swap.

Sounds to me like your convertor might have slipped. Did it bounce then shift, or hang on the limiter for a second? Really, it could be either issue.

When it hit the rev limiter it just bounced a couple of times and i let off of it.

Hmm, I'd say redoing your shift points should fix it. Does your car have a cam? If not, I wouldn't venture to guess just a set of heads would make your shift points too low, but every car is different.

I do have a cam (see sig). Yeah i'm going to have to get it retuned. 1st to 2nd shifts way, way too early. 2nd to 3rd too early also but not as bad as 1st to 2nd. I'm going to visit my tuner this week.

thanks

Had you mentioned that before, I'd have told you shift points.
