Converter seems to be a little loose to me. 5500 would be ok with a three speed. I would suggest 5000. Looks like you shifted around 8000. Wow.... Try shifting a little lower.
I have the same combo and have a 1.98 low gear with a 5000 ATI converter with cal tracks and 60 ft. Around 1.43-1.45. Converter is real critical with the glide. I have two converters both 5000 stall. My ATI is .10 faster in 60 ft. Than my other brand. Who did you buy this car from?

Caltracs work great, but if the slapper bars were set up correctly it doesn't suprise me that you didn't see any gain.
