It's called a torque converter. If you google what those do you will realize why the automatic feels different. Hint it has something to do with a thing called torque multiplication.

The LT1 platform is completely different than the LS3/L99 engines of the Gen 5. Literally nothing will carryover in terms of engine components unless you do a complete engine swap.

Get it re-tuned before you dump anymore money into it. You should be darn near close to 400rwhp with those mods properly tuned. You don't need a cam to get those numbers.
