What are the symptoms of a bad torque converter?

Well I have all of those modifications on the motor, but none on the drivetrain, should have seen that as a problem from day one. I will look into getting a converter built for my combo once I find some good gears.

When I put the new rear in I was planning on installing ss springs, shocks and everything anyways, I will put some new parts in the front as well when I replace it.

I just checked and I have 2.76 gears! good for highway but not much else, I guess I know why its so sluggish off the line.

Will I get that "seat of the pants" feeling with these changes?
