Straining when I put foot on gas
I have a '92 V6 and recently (6/21-7/21) got a new cat converter, tune up, starter and a/c compressor. After the starter and cat converter, it felt like it was straining. Took it back in and they said it was an unplugged nox sensor. After I got the A/C compressor, when I have the a/c on and I step on the gas, it feels like its straining, only worse than before. If I'm coasting or am going 30-35, it seem fine. The minute I put my foot on the gas to go 40 etc. I actually feel it in the floorboard! It's not a heavy vibrating, but I can feel like it's just straining. If I let up on the gas, the grrrrrr sound goes away. HELP! I got the a/c compressor at the dealer and the other stuff at a local shop. Not sure who I should take it back to.

It is possible something in the new converter became dislodged and is blocking the exhaust, causing excessive back pressure. This is not common, but is a possibility. I had something similar happen to one of my cars in the past. It is more likely a timing issue.
