I think they "usually" rate off the shelf parts like that to work with a "mild" 350. What kind of power are you making? Do some searches on how converters work and you'll see why it isn't working properly. It's not really anyones fault really just a bad mismatch probably. I wonder what return policy B&M has for converters. As far as getting a new one, get one from a company that will work with you and has a good name(not like B&M doesn't but you're in a wierd situation). Goodluck man.

I was Pee'd when mine stalled at 4 grand since I had a stock cam..haha but that's my fault on a clear mismatch.

The method you're using is called foot brake stall and is really not accurate because the motor will overpower the brakes.

A better way would be to use the flash stall method. Basically from a dead stop just mash on the gas and watch the rpms where the car will start to move. If the converter and motor components are matched right, it should "flash" to its rated stall speed.

I run a 3500 stall converter on the street. Using the foot brake method it would break the tires loose at around 1800. If I flash it, it will come to around 3200 as long as I have decent traction.

Good point, that's why I suggest he look up converter articles and tech pages. My Vig. is rated at 4200 but footbrakes to 2200 roughly before the tires spin. Depends on how they were built. Mine was meant to stall at 4200 behind a heavy pig F body with a 396 with a mega hit of spray basically. It definately flashes WELL past 2200 at full boogy.
