If you like how it drives, run it. About the only thing you'll gain with a well specced blower cam would be manners and fuel eco.

what rpm do you see with that converter when cruising, lets say 60 mph? how much higher than stock?

I do not see higher rpm while cruising 60mph at all..
Great street manners while driving “normal” in front of cops…
I second all the people who say this is how these cars should have come stock.. lol
the only difference I see is I can smack the gas in any gear and rpms respond immediately without downshifting… it’s amazing!!!
Circle D for the win!

Once the conveter locks up, it is just like the stock converter. You typically have to give it a little more gas to accelerate,, but not to much more.

I daily drove (Not winter) my Trans am with a 4000 Stall for 3 years without issue.

That is good news. Is the transmission tuned? If so, was torque management changed?

the transmission was tuned after the cam and supercharger install.. but has NOT been back to the Dr since I installed the torque converter!
