It would convert things into stalls faster. You would be able to pee anywhere.
Now, how would a TORQUE CONVERTER with a higher STALL SPEED perform at cruise? That depends on the converter and gearing. If your cruise RPM is below the stall speed of the converter, the engine RPM will raise when you hit the throttle. Much like slipping a clutch. If your cruise RPM is above the stall speed, you'll notice little if any difference. The basic rule here is to make sure your stall speed is below highway cruise RPM if fuel economy is a priority. That is, a 3000+ RPM stall speed with 2.76 gears would not be a good choice. Converter efficiency plays a role as well.

It depends on who built the converter; call Turbo Action, ask for Paul.

All converters have a stall speed. But I like the idea of being able to pee anywhere.
If your trans temperature doesn't climb on the street you need more stall. Mine is a 5500. It makes heat and trans life short if you don't have two coolers with fans.But who cares its only money. I agree pee anywhere you want.
