transmission Slip or converter too big for gear?

[EternalMalibu]

Ok, i have posted a question about my converter/cam/gear problem. I drove the Bu again in a parade on the 4th of July. It shifts fine but seems like it is "freewheeling" in third til i stomp it and make it lock in. Maybe it IS MY GEAR. I am just scared that it may be the transmission slipping but having a Canadian block .40 over 350 /3200 stall with a 488/510 lift /TH350 transmission/ 9:5:1 CR / Edelbrock Performer RPM (64 cc) heads/ B&M shift kit. Now the rear is STOCK 273. I have never had a stall this big. Any help is appreciated! Before you ask, YES i am planning to change gear but need $$ first. Im eating steak on a bologna budget!!!

You need more gear, your combo is mismatched.

What would be a good gear numerically? I was thinking maybe a 373. Just a weekend warrior. Will not be driven daily. Thanks!!!

3.73-4.11 would be good

3.73-4.11 would be good

273s are good for just about NOTHING

x3 on the 3.73 that combo wold love that gear and it would take away the "freewheeling" that you seem to have. When i had that size converter even my 3.42 gears did that so i would definitely say at least a 3.73.
