Default converter question

I was wondering if every time you add mods if it changes the way your converter acts? If you added another 50-100 hp would it cause the converter to flash higher? Do the mods make it feel looser?

Correct the more power you add the the engine, the higher the converter will flash/stall. There is also the possibility of changing the torque curve and lowering the stall. If you have a stock converter and add a different cam with a higher torque range, it might footbrake a little tighter because you will have less power down low than with the factory cam.
