I'm still trying to get my head completely around your track results with 385rwhp... How much does your car weigh?
I can get fairly close in my head, but you still seem a little faster(mph) than I would expect. Traps are typically a good representation of power to weight ratio(not entirely, but generally).

The only weight reduction I have is gutted trunk, no back seat and the alum block that I thought saved 80 lbs off the front end. Car still has full interior, a/c, stock driveshaft, etc etc and the added weight of the supercharger setup and auto trans lol.
The car is a GTS so it tends to be a bit lighter than a normal car but I cant imagine its more than 100 -150 lbs vs a fully loaded one.

This isnt as good as an example as it could be because I was on street tires and babied it out of the hole and was spinning bad but watch the rpms.
With the loose converter my RPMS stay way up mostly the entire run untill it locks in third gear
The built auto with the converter just works well.

struggling to hook up is a good thing, it means the limiting factor is traction not torque.
