Default Converter is in

Went drive around a lil bit and it's way looser than the tt3000. I can easily keep the rpm's at 3500 through the gears. Gonna catch hell trying to hook this thing up at the track.

Haven't drove it much, but yea. Definately does it's job! Smashing on it around 40 mph feels like two passing gears with the down shift and flash right after one another. Then it's like

Mine feels like a 5spd auto with this converter, because it shifts into 4th still up north of 3000 rpms, then it locks up and it feels like a whole nother gear haha.

I'm having an issue. Tranny is acting kinda funny. When accelerating if i push it to 4k rpm through the gears it all of a sudden kinda lets go, like it's slipping. Slowed down and manually put it in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd and gave it some hard throttle so they are all still there. Hasn't done anything like this before so I'm wondering if it's how the converter is or coincedentally the the tranny is gonna crap right after the swap.
