If you lost a lot of mph through the traps, it's probably too much converter. What did it run before the converter change, and what does it run now? ET and mph please.

What gear do you have in the car? If at anytime the car shifts and runs under 4000rpm- then your stall is way too big. There are other things to look at as well but thats the most obvious tip I can think of. The last timne one of my automatics started stalling super high it was because the think was cooking and eventually burned up completely. Be carefull. At 4000rpm it must be a 9" or smaller converter....right?
