440 banging outta 5500 rpm

I have been running this 440 for three years now. Msd rev limited at 6500
Roller motor, demon 750, msd wires, billet msd distributor. I snapped a u joint
Pulled the tranny to check it out sent the converter off for a new hub( it was worn and leaking).
Put it all back together and now it sounds like the msd box is rev limiting at 5500. Runs a consistent 6.94 1/8. 60' is the same, turns 98 MPH.
But starts the banging at the end of the 1/8. I used to run the 1/4 and with 456gears it was on the rev limit at the end of 1/4.
I set the msd box to 2000 and checked it and it will limit at 2000.
I set it to limit at 7000 made a pass and still missing t 5500. It's not popping,
It sounds like rev limit. I changed the plugs, no diff. I had a fuel pump give up on me, it's got a new fuel pump. I. Don't have a fuel press. Gauge in the car its under the hood. Im not thinking fuel press. But not ruled out yet.

I'm hoping for suggestions on this one.

Thanks>>>>>> Wilson
