I did the gas/brake trick and netted a 1000 rpm max before I overpowered the brakes. I think I have enough umph to reach the converter's potential.

Interesting...the same fellow is still selling the same converters but he now fesses up to them being 1500-1600 rpm....

Shouldnt my converter have gone to 1500 rpm's then instead of 1000?

Converters are usually measured at their flash stall speed. You will not achieve this by foot braking the car, you must flash the converter. Also a converters stall speed will also be determined by the cars hp. The more hp you make, the more the converter will reach it's advertised stall speed.
