On the converter, I haven't done it myself but have seen posts by other members who said it had worked for them no problems. They were of course running an aftermarket tranny cooler. I was considering it for myself but found out that the /6 converter I had had the wrong number of splines and found a 3000-3500 "street fighter" cheap and in good shape.
on the cam, Yea youre right about the lopiness, not necessary and the lopiness doesn;t mean that you are making big power. It is nice however to drive in to car show with that big lope if youre into that sort of thing. Anyone that really knows cars knows that many guys equate lopiness with their car being bad *** but in reality many guys put too much cam in their cars to get that "lope" but are actually losing power and would have been better off with much less cam.
Just for ***** and giggles go to compcams.com and download camquest6 and plug in all your parts.
