rpm not changing
 
i have put 3 sets of gears in my truck 4.86 5.14 an 5.43 the rpm is the same wit all 3 when i go through the trap 6700rpm.

Do you happen to use a RPM chip in your ignition? near 6700rpm.
Are your valve springs regulating your top rpm?

Give some more detailed specs on your truck.

Part of that could all be in the convertor.....

TO MUCH CONVERTER?

I don't think the converter is really out of line. With a 434 small block it needs a lot of cylinder head though. Could it be out of flow limiting rpm? Couple of questions though. How are you getting the rpm reading, data recorder? Did your MPH change?

you have a ignition problem limiting your rpm or something in that area. Change that chip to another one you have like the 8000 rpm one that came with your ignition. If you can not get past 6700 rpm in first gear either............. STOP and THINK for a minuet, then look again at the ignition.
