also your shifts don't drop as much as they do with the stock converter.

I figured it would be better since it kept you in the high rpms

Well get your facts straight before you tell someone they are wrong. HP is what gets you the mph, a bigger converter on the dyno with all else being equal will put less to the ground. True the shift recovery is better but that helps with e/t not mph because the converter isnt helping you make more power. Look at some threads where the only change is a converter the et changes but the mph is within 1mph 99% of the time. Whereas with a cam, you drop .5(for example) and tack on another 3-4mph because you gained hp. Understand?
