Default Can someone tell me how my converter will be?

I have a 3,600rpm converter with a 2.7:1 STR, 9.5" in size.

It isnt in the car yet though, but just after peoples experience, will this converter hit hard when coming on song?

With a 2.7 STR? Yes, but "whiplash" is a mild understatement! That is, IF you can hook up.

Imagine the torque you're trying to put down. Say you have some mods and you're putting 330 lbs of torque to the ground. Now imagine that 2.7 STR multiplying that torque on a launch. 330 X 2.7 = over 850 lbs of torque that's being slammed down to the pavement. Like I said, IF you can hook up, something might break. But if not, then hold on!
