Went to the dyno, but it didn't pan out
Went to the dyno to see how the new computer is doing, but we couldn't get a reading below 3k RPMs. ??? If memory serves me correctly, it did this the last time I was there getting some tuning done. The first few pulls were fine, but then couldn't get a reading below 2200 . . . then 2400 . . . then 2500, etc. But like I said, yesterday we couldn't get a reading below 3k.
I'm think it's my torque converter starting to go.
I don't drive the Camaro much anymore because of the Saab, but I still want to use it as my fun car. The TC in there now is like a 1850ish stall.
Is that what it is, or am I looking down the wrong path here?

Oh . . and sometimes when I'm cruising on the interstate between 70-75mph, there seems to be a slight surging feeling, only with no corresponding moves in the tach or engine noise. Almost feels like a miss, but it's not.

You have a ignition problem. Most likely cap, rotor, plug wires or spark plugs.
