Default will my slicks cause me to bog now?

As some of you know, I bought my first set of slicks the other day.
A friend of mine says now that I will have traction, that my car will bog off the line and that my 2500 stall converter won't be enough.

I had plenty of grunt off the line last year with only a 7.5 rear and 2:73 gears and street tires. Actually, I had major traction problems.
Now, I'll have the 4:10, 8.8 rear with trac-loc and the slicks.
Do you think I will still bog off the line?
BTW, last year with those crappy gears and street tires I ran a best of 13.57@104mph. I should be solidly in the 12's now.
Any predictions?
