Iknow right now that Ican't get any rpms in my power band without the tires spinning with the shot converter Ihave

The durations and lift numbers on your cam are the same as the Comp 268, it may be what you have. You can use the stock converter with this cam, but it wouldn't hurt to put one slightly looser in, no more than 2200 rpm stall, and keep it a 12" converter.
