Default Need Help Fast Please with New Torque Converter

This is posted in trans section also but since using LS1 edit thought it would be okay to ask in here too. Need help fast is why.

Car was running and shifting fine before install of TCI Super Street Fighter 3000 Stall 2.2:1 STR and ASP underdrive pulley. We have LS1 Edit and have lowered 2-3 shift point to 66 mph and raised 2nd rev limiter to 6300. At 60 mph hit it drops to 2nd then still hits rev limiter on 2-3 shift. How far do I have to take shift points or rev limiter?

Stock gears? Have you re-checked the trans fluid?

Also consider a Tahoe tranny pan which is sloped forward and has a drain plug. This has helped is some situations. That fluid, especially if low, slams into the back of the pan with the hard hit and may run dry for a moment. Overfilling is not a solution you want by the way.
Jay Fischer claims to have solved the 2-3 shift issue several times with this pan. I didnt try it. I just started over and built another tranny , but Im silly like that.
