That's pretty good for what you have done to it. It sounds like your converter is too tight for that set up. If you are pushing through the light at or above 2,000 rpm's then the converter is not stalling at the rated 3600-3800. I have read on here where some guys have had to go to a higher stall due to the engine combination. Torque of the engine is what stalls the converter basically and with a light car the converter will not stall at it's rated number. What did it stall to when flashing the converter from an idle? That will tell you instantly you are not getting all the stall from your converter.
It sounds though your are planning to go forced induction so the converter you have may work better with that set up.

Thanks for the input!

My buddy just gave me a 5000 stall 9" nitrous converter to try out. I know on motor that stall number drops a bit but I have to imagine it'll be better than my 10" jegs 3600-3800 converter that stalls at about 2K... any suggestions/predictions? Probably 2 weeks out until my next track day but I'll get this thing in on Monday and see how it feels on the foot brake and flashing in the driveway.
