Did you run through the break-in process? Most engines don't put out peak power until you get at least 1 gallon through them.
What pipe/header combo are you using?

Like Olds said, make sure that the break in process was done. What gearing are you running now, does it still have the stock tires, or are they larger? If the break in was done, have you tried the pinch test? It may just be a little rich.

The engine has plenty of power but it is like the trans is not engaging the engine will wine and the truck will barely move I tried to tighten the spur gear I am going to see if I need to reset the mesh it felt and looked good could the shoes on the spur gear be bad??? and does any know the part # for them
Well, something I usually try if I suspect something is slipping, with the body off, I hold the truck down firmly on the ground and give it a lot of throttle for a second. If something is slipping, you will see what is and what isn't spinning when your keeping it stationary like that.
Could just be your clutch or slipper are oily causing excess slip. Could also be the flywheel slipping on the shaft. Or, could be the OWB inside the trans that gives you first gear. If it's only 6 months old... I doubt it's the OWB, but could quite easily be one of the other things.
