torque converter K factor

I am retrofitting an E4od behind a carbed 460. My question is the factory converters are rated by K factor. I found an explanation and formula that defines those ratings. A factory 7.5 gas converter is rated at 105K and a 5.8 gas converter is rated at 140K. If I install the 105K converter and observe the stall speed, can I accurately predict the stall speed of the 140K converter in the same situation ? Mathmatically ..by reversing the formula ?

That should get you close. It's not exact, but close.
