Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) gsk loss of power question

[KingS]

Sorry guys I know this has been covered before but can't find the answers to my problem I got a gsk from tst ordered 4 but got a 3 so install 3 for now the two other springs will be here tomorrow allready have vavle spring sitting waiting for tiny spring for 4gsk anyway I love the throttle response of the 3 gsk but when drag racing or any other time the truck when torque locker locks tc up it falls on its face to an exstant before the truck would set back in you seat whan tc locked up what happened? want to figure it out before putting in the rest of the kit thanks guys.

how tight did you set the springs?

 

[KingS]

I did that about two weeks before gsk kit would it of moved since then?

got the other two spring put in so now 4gsk is complete even the vavle spring the dead spot is gone I think my shift patterned had change when truck shifts into second. one question though I still going down the road don't go over 3000 rpm why is that do I need more fuel or is it somthing else. thanks guys

I've read that the GSK can affect fuel lever position. I found that my lever was passing below the plate after I installed the 3K GSK. Raised it and zoom!!! Easily hits 3300 before I back off. Not sure how high it would wind now. I do have 60# springs.

help please

ok guys need help figure this out my gov foot hits the tip of my #5 just for less then a second then pops up the curve in the plate profile hope this is set right



then I'm not even hitting 3000 rpm with 4 GSK in with 3gsk it would hit 3000rpm that is both number driving down road not sitting still the 4 gsk seems to be alittle less snappy the the 3 was.



I drag this truck and I'm slowly adding stuff to see what each add on does so that later when I have a problem in my et time I have a idea what component to adjust but I have lost somthing my torque locker engages right after second gear shift with GSK in it bogges down when it locks my et times are faster but I figure I should be in 14. 9's at least with my setup and only run 15. 3 at 87. 5 mph so any help is well needed thanks guys
