Default rough idle/jerking foward

i just had a PA super streeter AOD and a 2500 stall installed, i was told that my car had a cam and heads in it, and i thought that the stock stall converter was causing the jerking foward from not having enough slip from the cam, how can i tell if my car really has a cam? is it suppose to always sound lopey when you come to a stop? cause it mostly just sounds like a cam when i start it up cold, and sometimes when i come to a stop, and if it sounds lopey when i come to a stop it jerks and shakes the **** out of my car.

and also whats the break in period i should give my new tranny and stall?

Adjust your fuel pressure to 40psi, set tps to .99 volts,those symtoms should vanish.

Confirm your the ground wire on back of the driver head is there and ok, thats the 02's ground and will not throw a CEL.
