Stock converter probably 1400-1800 stall speed tops.  What RPM would you be 
running at 50mph?  Probably a lot less than 4000, so yes the converter would 
be slipping at 50 mph building heat.  Some other folks have mentioned that 
the Dynamic converter is less prone to this slippage at rpm less than stall 
and I agree with that.  I also re-iterate if you are running say a 3800 
converter with 3.91 gears at 50 mph it will slip a lot less than the same 
converter would with 2.79 or 3.23 gears because A, at 50 mph with 2.79 or 
3.23 gears the engine would run slower than with 3.91 at 50 mph contributing 
to more converter slip due to the lower rpm and B, because the torque 
requirement to turn the 2.79 or 3.23 gears would be higher than with the 
3.91's.
