Actually, I'm running a lockup, which is why I went with such steep gearing. I have acceleration in OD!

Nonlockup should give you torque multiplication through all your gears unless you're driving around above 3000 rpms and then the converter would be stalled and you wouldnt see any difference.

I dont think there is anything to adjust other than shift points. Maybe tighten the TV cable and achieve better shifting and see if operatring in lower gear or staying in lower gear longer produces the umph you are looking for.

If the verdict is that the 3k stall is worse than the stock converter, then I believe that you might have gotten a bum converter. I got ripped off once by buying a 2k stall on ebay which was nothing but a stocker painted purple. Was your TC from a reliable source?
