Default Trans acting weird after throttle body install

I recently took my stock tb off and installed a BBK 52mm. My trans shhifter weird at first, until I adjusted the butterflies and got the TPS into spec.

Then I noticed another weird problem. While cruising, sometimes if I give it a little bit more throttle, the rpm will raise, but the car won't accelerate much. If I give it a little bit more throttle, the rpm will raise some more, and then the car will all of a sudden snap forward and begin to accelerate normally. Everything is normal at WOT.

The torque convertor is a Coan rated at 2500, that footbrakes to 2800 and flashes to ~3100-3200 on launch. It's a couple years old, and I've never noticed it do this before.

You think my convertor is getting worn out? The current trans is stock while I am saving up to get my FLP Level IV repaired (lost 2nd gear), and I have a cooler on it. Ever since I swapped the stock trans in, the convertor hasn't locked. I dunno if the lock-up solenoid is bad, or if I have the brake pedal switch adjusted improperly, but I haven't had time to mess around with it.
