prob is, same thing happened to my friends Trans Am, boost would go up but power would fall off causing it to blow past the converter and it couldn't hold up and slipped way too much. You may need a tighter converter. What rpm do you see on the trans brake and foot brake? Maybe talk with circle D about it to see if they thing it's the converter.

off the shelf converter? I'd get a custom one spec'd out. Typically the load of the dyno can be greater then that seen on the street and can cause the converter not to hold up as well to the load it sees on dyno vs street. GL 
Oh, do you see 23 psi on the streets as well?

and no its custom built converter from yank
