I never had to dial in my suspension with my old torque converter. It wasn't explosive enough.

This is accurate. Drag radials need to hook initially and roll the power in as soon as you can. Slicks are hit it hard and get the tire speed up as the power comes on. If you could watch it in slow motion you would better understand. That is what wheelie bars are for and that is why you don't use them on radial cars. All big tire slick cars hit the bars to unload the suspension to make the tire spin. As the tire is getting traction the power is being added. If you don't have wheelie bars and even if you do most people will strap the car down tight to get the tires to spin.

If you spin your tires in competition then something went wrong either with your set up or with the track prep.

I run a BTE converter in my th350.
Only have a couple test passes in on the old motor so far but It was in the low 1.6s on motor which is better than my T56 ever did. The TC was speced for my 383 on spray. Not my old 355 on motor. Plus Ive seen some killer results from other cars running the same converter.
