No, hard acceleration won't hurt it - but there's a limit to hard driving. You find the limit when the parts break.

A locking converter does just that. It locks the engine to the transmission, eliminating the slip in the converter.

Most kits have a disconnect switch in the brake lines. When you hit the brakes, the converter unlocks.
