New Converter, Different Shift Points?

The one critical bit of information you omitted and frankly the first and foremost bit of information necessary when discussing converters, in the absence of dyno results is... your cam's duration @ .050?

Without it, there is no meaningful discussion or advice.

Lastly, you have an engine combo that maybe makes 500+HP and 400+ ft/lbs. torque at probably around 5000 RPM. A converter that flashes to 5800 is too loose no mind one that flashes to 6250 IF the goal is to "shave some ET." The fall back RPM is what is most important.

Maybe I should have not used "better" and I understand there is more to converters than stall speed. I just figured, I'd tried a couple of different converters with two tire sizes. (basically, a gear change) and hoped it was enough data to give the guy at ATI some direction to go.
It looks like, everybody agrees it could pick up with the "right" converter?
