Gear ratio ,hp and tire size comes in to play,
It might take a couple of adjustments in the converter to find what works the best

If it goes 105 mph the converter is slipping 7% 4.86 gear 29 tire.

105 mph is my guess of what it goes, typical mph for 6.50 et, in order to do the equation.

7% is good 1/8 mile but stall is high for 6400 shift, should be around 5000 - 5200 stall 3 speed transmission shifting 6400 rpm.

I have noticed with customers that every converter/combination is slightly different. Some don't like to hang, some do. Just have to do some testing to get it right.
