looks about like an 11% converter loss. those tires are only about 25.6 inches tall, would be 125 at that rpm with no converter loss.

That would depend on the converter and the STR High STR converters tend to hit hard in the bottom with a loss at the top a low STR converter you might expect a 6% loss +- but the high STR might be considerably more One possible solution might be to lock the converter once in 3rd at the top end eliminating the loss.
