The converter was an 1800 rpm stall. I could, occasionally, chirp a tire from a dead stop. But I soon got curious about the converter slippage: Cruising along at 55 MPH, lift off the throttle, the RPM instantly dropped 200 RPM. Ease back into it, it came back up by 200 RPM. In later years, I came to learn that this is typical of most stock GM converters, though I doubted, and still doubt, that that converter was stock. | The converter was an 1800 rpm stall.
