Should be mean on motor. I'm about to order a similar converter from them for the website Camaro. My guess is that you'll drop ET like crazy. I've gone 11.0@121 (1.55) with 28x10.5's and 4.10's. Car needs more converter and more gear. I'm hoping for 1.40's and an ET drop to like 10.7.

it should run 10.9 in great air down to 11.30s in kansas air lol.

best converter you could have bought. i think that converter will work great off the footbrake.

I have had an 8" treemeaster MRT in my car for three years now and hundreds of passes. Amazing thing it has gone all the way from mid 10s with about 600 crank hp to 9.0x with nearly 1000hp with no changes and it still slips less than 10%. The 1.25-1.27 60 foots are kinda cool as well

Damn fine torque converter..

My ATI worked great on the motor and on the 200 shot then it pushed threw ~ 650 rwhp . They tried a few more but couldn';t get it efficient enough. MY coan worked like a champ.

You should be good at those power levels!
