Well, a higher stall torque converter will do that - lets the engine rev up higher then stock (in the case of PT4400, I'm assuming 4400 RPM) before transmitting the power to the transmission. Below the "stall RPM", this would give the feel of major slippage.

Even with a 4400 converter, it shouldnt feel like its "not going anywhere". It'll slip, but it should make the car go.
Even a stall that hi, wont slip all the way to 4400, thats actually the "flash" speed. Depending on the quality of the converter, it could feel just a little looser than a stock converter, without putting it against a brake.
If you can get it to rev at all above the stall speed, without it spinning the tires or moving the car, theres definitely something wrong.

I've tuned a half dozen cars with that PT4400, it's a power adder stall so it's tight even under flash in every car I've ridden in. If it feels loose now, somehting isn't right.
