Nelson: Just my opinion and you've been given plenty, but converter seems too tight, maybe 200-300 looser. I'm not sure what circumference tires you have, but they can be used to "tweak" the RPM's a bit, particularly when you're using a 2.75 trans. Don't forget that the wider gearing of the trans. makes the RPM's fall down more on the gear change. If you're running a 94" tire, a 92" tire will help get the RPM's up. A looser converter will help as well on the gear change.
