Unhappy TBI 350 Chevy

I know this is a very broad range of what it could be, but I have a 1995 Chevy Silverado, with the 5.7 in it, however, it wont burn out, it always feels as if you were driving into the wind on a really windy day, the truck has 35 13.5 Mickey Thompson tires and the truck doesnt even have the torque to get out of its own way. I cant drive in overdrive at all, it constantly shifts out of overdrive, which isnt a big deal but i dont understand why its llike that. The guy I bought it from said its rebuilt and it runs good and everything but it just doesnt seem to have the torque or power that my 97 had. If anybody has any ideas please let me know. <!-- / message --><!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: ad_showthread_firstpost_sig --><!-- END TEMPLATE: ad_showthread_firstpost_sig -->

With 35's and 3.42 gears I'm sure it won't "burn out".

That combo needs 4.56 gears to get her back into a useable power band.

Default no power

Everything I ever bought (used) either had a new motor or one that was just rebuilt. Do a comp check along with a good tune up. Get the big tires off of it. These things are dogs at best. They were made to drive to work and haul one bag of trash.
