Default Loose converter?

I have a s10 with a turbo making about 650rwhp. I have a yank ss4000 in it now that I'm only getting 300rpm drop on my shifts. Yank is restalling my other converter to ss3600 to get more shift extension. My best so far is 107mph in the 1/8th. How much mph do you guys think I will pick up getting to the normal 800-1000rpm drop.

Where are you shifting at? The converter is just falling back to its stall right now.

Say you are shifting at 6300 and it is falling to 6000.... Say you shift at 7k instead... It is going to drop back to that similar 6k

I'm shifting at 6,300-6,400 and its dropping to 6,100. With a 7875, 6.0L and ls6 cam I should probably be shifting at 6,200 or less.
