That combo should pick your car up a fair amount. The motor is somewhat head limmited, and a looser converter is needed if it truly only stalls to 4400 rpm. I would be happy with a 5000+ stall unit in that combo, shooting for about 1200 rpm below shift points, which should be about 6600? That would put desired stall at about 5400 roughly.

unless you have a good enough suspension to hook the 10.5 tires you could very well blow them off with the new converter. if you hook you should see a nice gain.
