Help me find the umph in my 360

Couple of points:
- a tq conv always has some slippage [ only a lock up con vert in LU mode has no slippage ]
- the slight surging you are feeling at slower cruise speeds is because of the cam duration/overlap
- the cam has 5* of advance ground into it. The LSA is 112*. If the cam is correctly ground & everything is machined accurately, then if you installed the cam on the '0' mark of your timing chain set, the ICL is 107. So it is already 5* advanced from the 'straight up' position & I would not advance it any more than an extra 4*.
- a muuuuuuuch better cam for your combo would be the Isky Mega 270. It will idle better [ has 15* less seat timing ] & perform better everywhere else. You can get the current lifters re-faced if they are ok & use them.

Yes I installed it dot to dot when I put the cam in. So technically me adding that much more advance to it when installing should of gave me more torque down low anyways. Tonight I'm going to go through a whole start over on the Tuning process. Since I thought my park idle was at 1000 when it was in "6cyl mode" on the tach my idle has been wrong this whole time. So I will adjust everything accordingly when I get back from work tonight. That is probably the reason why when I would gun it from idle it fealt so sluggish. With raising the idle to the right point and such it should feel much more snappy. When I started the car after changing the tach setting it was idling at 500 rpm. So hopefully it runs better after some adjustments.
