My engine builder's shop was next door to a tranny place. In addition, the tranny guy used to race a '68 FB RA II and a GTO so he was pretty familar with Pontiacs. The two of them got together to determine what new converter would be good for my combo:
490 HP 455 (punched to 462), E-heads and intake, roller cam, Doug's headers, 2.5 inch Pypes exhaust, TH 400 tranny, 3.55 posi rear.
The answer was a custom made 2800 stall converter. I agree that 2800 is too high for your combo.
