my 4200 stall converter runs more rpms at slower speeds until the converter locks up, then I run the same rpms as stock.

It should, thats what people mean by the looseness or tightness of a converter.

What you are experiencing is normal. Its physically impossible to have a stall that turns the same rpm's at part throttle then flash to 4000+ at WOT. Its perfectly normal and you'll get use to it in no time.

Well it makes sure your rear is centered after lowering the car if your gonna do that, so thats why I did it.
