Lonnie, I'd rather let Lenny make the "Ultimate" call. He deals with this stuff every day..
I'd guess 53-5400 with a fairly small cam.

My guess is that Mark is close, albeit possibly a bit conservative.

Remember that if you're down on power, especially torque, your flash RPM will be low as well.

Alan has a good point .
Now you have to realize, if your converter is too tight, and providing it's not something out of the mainstream,and you are still not running any MPH, that's a good indication where your problem lies.
