i just had my tranny build and i dont think its right !! correct me if im wrong but when the converter locks up say at 55mph and i get on it the rpm's and mph should move close to the same on the dash ??? when i hit mine it starts pulling and when boost builds the rpm's jump about 400-500 rpm's idk much about trannys but my brother had his build by suncoast and it deff. dont fill the same

it wont necessarily shudder...it will overtime as the converter clutch warps from the heat...but yes, it sounds like it's slipping. whether it's the converter clutch or the clutch packs i don't know.
what's in the tranny? when it's built...is it BUILT or is it just a stock rebuild?

its got a new triple disk converter ,all new raybestest blue somethin clutch pack or plates and he added an extra plate in the basket too !! idk much about trannys sorry !! but it does'nt shutter or anything !!! when i take off from a stop at wot it dont seem to slip in first it shifts to second nice and firm and the rpm's fall acouple hundred then the 2-3 shift it dont shift hard at all and the rpm's only drop 50 maybe then it shifts to four firm and locks up and the rpm's fall about 600 and it pulls like a raped ape !!! idfk im kinda pissed off after all that money !!! could it be because he used a stock valve body ??

yup. let me guess..there's no shift kit in it? i bet the pressures aren't up to par with the extra power.
give an aftermarket company a call...suncoast, goerend, dtt, etc. and put in an aftermarket valve body to up the pressures, get it shifting right, etc. ...or at the very least put a shift kit in it. (a lower stall converter will put more pressure on the clutch packs and will make them slip anymore if the stock pressure hasn't been modified).

Who built it and what did it cost? You can PM that info. I am just trying to get an idea of what is in the transmission. Do you still have the reciept? It should be itemized with all the parts he billed you for and then the labor should be listed and any hazmat fees.

A little work here and there..........
its got a new triple disk converter ,all new raybestest blue somethin clutch pack or plates and he added an extra plate in the basket too !! idk much about trannys sorry !! but it does'nt shutter or anything !!! when i take off from a stop at wot it dont seem to slip in first it shifts to second nice and firm and the rpm's fall acouple hundred then the 2-3 shift it dont shift hard at all and the rpm's only drop 50 maybe then it shifts to four firm and locks up and the rpm's fall about 600 and it pulls like a raped ape !!! idfk im kinda pissed off after all that money !!! could it be because he used a stock valve body ??
You could have a concern with direct clutches now. What does the fluid smell like now and color? Did he go into the O/D unit? I hate to say but you may have to put a pressure gauge on it to see whats going on for pressure. With what you have done to the motor you need allot more line pressure than stock!
I paid $2500 he put a triple disk converter was $875, a extra clutch plate along with all new plate they where raybestest blue something , all new sensors,solnoids,gaskets that price was him pullin it out and reinstalling it ! the fluid smells and looks good ! i dont now if he messed with the od unit !

Sorry man but you get what you pay for, $875 for a triple disc? I don't think so. Even the cheap aftermarket converters were more than that last time I checked.
Sounds to me like your driving through the converter lock up clutch.
Reading his post when it hit's 3rd gear is doesn't drop but 50 rpm's? It doesn't sound like a T/C to me at that time. Not saying he not slipping it when he lock up but 3rd should drop 250 to 300.
i pulled about 15000lbs with it today it deff still slips !! the trans temp only got to 165 ! i thought if a trans is slipping it would get hotter !

Have you talked to the trans builder?
He built it, and should be able to make it work properly.
May just need an adjustment, but it sounds like either the TC or O/D slipping.
