gear ratios and torque

crackedback said
Want a wrench thrown in this.... if you have a torque converter, it may not make much difference. :)

The 3.23's work the converter harder than the 3.55's when accelerating. Load creates stall.

Hmmm, "load creates stall". What dat mean?
Once the engine has reached stall speed, and the car is moving, how does the converter come into play. Shouldn't the car accelerate faster with the 3:55's ??
