If you've changed from the smallest pill to the largest pill and no changes. Thats a problem in itself, should have been major changes in the car.....
You may need a high speed lean out. Kinda weird some need it some don't. Are you using a 0-.5 pump or a 0 pump. Do you have a 50% reduction in the crank gear to the pump gear? If you pull the chips out will it stall up on the converter right.....and to the right stall rpm?

Wild,Try this,Put trans in reverse, back up,take trans out or reverse or release brake button if pro brake.If car still seams like it wants to move backwards the reverse clutches are not releasing.Bill.

Yes it was trying to apply the revese clutches. It smoked the reverse and high clutches. Won't lock up the rear tires at 80 mph, but it will try to apply the reverse.

That would be easy to check just launch your car on the footbrake and see if it lays down like it does with the transbrake.
Hey suicidebomb, how far are you from St. Louis???
