warped converter?

You did what I did. You burnt the torque converter. You will have to replace it. I suggest that you do a full upgrade including new cluches, input shaft, double deep pan and a new valve body. You can upgrade yours or buy a new trans. Upgrade runs about $5000-$6500 including labor and a new trans will run about $3500-$5500 plus labor and shipping in most cases. I did the upgrade with all BD parts and a torque converter locking switch for my exhaust break, and the exhaust break for $8500 installed. It sounds like a lot but my buddy only rebuilt his for $3500 and 2 years later had to rebuild it again. It is worth it to do it right the first time.

Vibration at a specific speed is usually drive shaft or u-joint related. Check the carrier bearing first.
For a torque converter to warp to the point of vibration, the TC would probably no longer go into lockup. Also, the vibration wold be at the same RPM regardless of speed.
And for a TC to warp this badly, you would probably have already lost the pump and possibly the engine due to too much thrust on the crank.
Check the basic and most obvious stuff first. That's usually where the problem is at.
