i would do the verter first, then your tune next & it can support it by getting all your shift points done..........

Correct, get the converter in and installed. Then the tuner will modify your shift points and lock up accordingly. What size stall are you getting?

The converter should be used as a part to blend all of the engine and transmission mods together.

The converter should be selected to your future needs, if the converter is picked for your current build but might need to be refined to the later package set up.
It is better to buy one for future needs and grow in to it.

I make a "2C" that is about 3200-3400, STR is about 2.0. Why do you want a low STR, concerned about traction. Is this your daily driver. How often do you go to the track or go from a roll??

Yeah, with out traction you are not going anywhere lol. Yes its my daily driver. Most likely i will be going to the track once or twice a month. Half my races are going to be from a dig and the other half from a roll no higher then 50mph start.
