Torque converter question......am I crazy?

Update.

So I put it all together with the 8" converter and couldn't be happier with the set up. Honestly, driving around town it just feels like a mild high stall converter. The revs come up to around 1500 when pulling away from a stop and the car drives normally. Under more spirited driving they might come up to 2500 to 3000, unless I really get on it.

There is no excessive heat or ill effects of the loose converter. Is it a ridiculous combo? If you want your car to drive like a honda I suppose so. Personally I like loud muscle cars with lumpy cams and tire frying performance.

This 4000 pound car behaves well in traffic, doesn't overheat, and with a worn out low compression bottom end runs 13.4s at 99.5 with 1.8s 60 foot times.
