Welcome aboard.
I've seen worse English from "educated" Americans.
That's a pretty healthy package. Probably well over 350 horsepower. With sufficient stall from the torque converter, 1/4 mile times in the low 13's, or high 12's with better gears and traction.

You'll probably need to stall in the 3000 RPM range. You'd know better if you have a dyno sheet, but without that you have to judge how the engine acts in the car.
You'll know you don't have enough stall if the engine acts a little sluggish off the line until RPMs build up and then it takes off. Mine needed 3000 RPMs even though all of the "powerband" information indicated it should have been less. Relatively small engine is the reason, in my case.

Would he be better off changing the rearend gears, then running the car and at that point making a decision on the converter?
