my first guess would be your tranny. you got good gears, however, without the right torque converter and shift kit, an AOD truly deserves the name "slush box" I would say that your 60's are a good representation of this.

If the car wasn't tuned properly for the injectors, it will cause it to run dead rich, it will consume a lot of gas and run really slow.

24 lbs are too much... run a set of 19s, and you'll be much better off. Seriously, a clicked a 2.3 60' and a 10.9 1/8th in my 2.8 Camaro.
