I,ve experienced the same thing, the level needs to be full or my trans shifts funky.I always just assumed when in use the level goes down from fluid pumping fast and not returning to the pan fast enough. 
 i have had same situation also.UNDERFILL AT CECIL COUNTY LOST .2 AND 3 MPH, ADDED A QUART AND ran my best ever.you can feel the trans. not pulling right. like a drag.but if you overfill by a 1/2 quart it pukes out the front pump vent hole. this front pump hole needs to be plugged and a top vent needs to be put in on next rebuild.

That and John's words say it all, and explain my experience. I guess that super deep pan and filter extension really only adds fluid capacity (cooling?) and the same pan with a 1" extension would get basically the same benefit, since the level needs to be so high (above the valve body).
And that debunks some other posts in the past that say it is OK to run a torqueflite low on fluid. The exact mark may be debateable, but I believe in the concept; for a race trans anyway.

I just talked to Dave from Pro Trans and he said that the level can NOT be run low, like 1" or near the pan rail. He said you cold run it a little low, like 1/4" just to be safe if you have a habbit of puking oil out the vents, but it needs to be near a stock/normal level. It cannot be run low despite having the deep pan and filter extension.
