I've seen some really fast close to stock cars run a 9.5" PTC. If I was looking to run a number with a near stock engine I'd be using the 9.5" PTC without a doubt. Another thing to mention is me or anyone else can't tell you what slip is going to be. The more torque the higher the slip. Stock heads and cam are absolutely done at 4800. It's all the turbo after that. We've gone much faster on a stock converter with much less slip than the times you posted. You shouldn't have to ever be in 4th. Converter is likely broke.

As Bison has said, it sounds very odd. It sounds like the fins are laid back in the converter to get that much slip at that et. However it's odd the converter isn't noticeably looser down low if fins are laid back.
There are some high 10 second stock engine combo's out there using the 9.5 non lock.
