Default Tire shake with P/G

We have an FED with a blown 542. Our convertor is a JW 10 " and is supposed to stall at about 5,000. We tried to leave at idle and just hit the throttle and it just went into tire shake instantly. We tried to stall it a little and come off the trans brake and it did the same. We don't use a tach so I can't give any stall info there, but the previous 8" convertor we balloned. Any way what my question is, shouldn't there be some slide of the convertor, because it acts like it just locks up period. I am an old lenco guy and am new to this convertor stuff so all you convertor wiz's help me out please. The convertor was just checked by JW before this race.
Thanks,
Rick
