Needless to say, I will be going back next month to get the converter upgrade done. It drives good its just the lower speeds you can tell the converter needs to be upgraded. The one now has a hard time containing the power :-). If you are in drive and stop for to long the car rear end starts to jump up :-). If you put it in neutral it fixes it. You can also tell at low parking lot speeds that the stock torque converter is struggling.

If I have just went heads and cam without all the other bolt on's with it I probably could have gotten away with not having to upgrade.
My guess, it's probably the new cam that is making it feel funny like that, not the bolt-ons.
