[SVX-FF]

No mate that sounds like the stator in the converter is slipping. There is nothing between the 1st, 2nd change that would cause it to be slugish. The forward clutch is on for first, and the band is applied also for second, if the forward clutch was slipping in first, it would still slip in second.

Do a stall test to see what the rpms go to, if they are higher, the stator freewheel is slipping. Which torque converter did you use.

I reused my SVX tc. The one out of the 2.5 GT is the same. I did a band adjustment before installing the tranny. Snugged down then backed off only 1.5 turns. I was planning to back off another 1/2 turn and see what results I have. I am hopping to do this tomorrow after work. It does try to lock up and the rpm have not been that high. 70mph = 3k rpm. That is still higher than before.
The noise that I hear is not present when I am coasting or under slight power. When I apply more pedal there are two different noises, one soft and the other loud.
This is the weirdest thing I've come across. Thank for your help.
