Arrow how to compensate for a small stall in a built car?!

Ok guys, i just picked up a car a few days ago that is pretty built. the only thing i see thats a draw back is it has a YANK 2200 stall converter. and its way to small (imo). is there any ways to COMPENSATE OR OFFSET the bog off the line? Gears maybe?
Car background:
Ls1 bored .010 over (scat rods, manley pistons, for nitrous)
prc 2.5 5.3 heads
tsp MS3 cam
bbk intake
Kooks 1 7/8 headers, exhuast
nitro daves plate kit (150shot)
YANK 2200 stall
stock 10 bolt (3.23 gears)

any suggestions are appreciated..... I plan on swapping to a 4l80e in the summer. thats why i dont wanna REBUY a 4l60e converter, now and have to buy a 4l80e converter again later.

Ah that sucks...that's a mild cam for that stall. You can do yourself a big favor and get a set of 3.73s. That'll help alittle.

Gears is all you can do without a restall.

Or turn the kit on...that always loosens up the converter LOL

Even with a 3200 I think your understalled you need a 3600-4000 with that cam. The good thing about converters is you can usually get most of your money back when you sell it used.

If you are 100% doing a 4l80 you might be able to limp it through till then.
