again it depends on the converter. the cheap **** or 30 year old crap then yes it may slip and create heat. a good modern converter spec'd correctly for the car, combo and intended use it will be fine and act like a stock converter on the street... when dynamic built my first 9.5" converter they said it was going to flash to 3800.. i said are you nuts? lol.. he assured me that it will be just what i wanted.. boy was he right... that was a mp short block, eddy heads 508 cam, 904 and 3.91 gear...
our current dart has a little more mild 360 in it (higher compression and bigger cam then stock) but i still had a 9.5" converter built for it.. this one is a 360,904 and 3.23 gears... i told them it was going to be 99% street driving. may see the track once every few years.. the receipt even says customer wants the converter tight.. runs awesome ion the car.. no extra trans cooler on it. only uses the stock radiator cooler and we drive it all over the place, around town, stop and go traffic, 3 hours on the highway..etc.. when i ordered my converters i was 100% honest about the cars combination and just as important the intended use of the vehicle.. if you aren't honest with those two things when ordering chances are you won't be happy... so again it really depends on the converter and who ordered it.
why are you even looking at this car. seems so far away from what you want. you sound like you would be happier with basically stock 360 and 3.23 gears..
