...how will going from a 3.23 to a 3.55 or 3.91 gear affect the stall speed of the torque converter?
..or will it remain the same?

Stall speed is engine rated, not drivetrain rated. It has to do with RPM of engine input.

Good info , now I'm confused . Stall should be 500- 700 rpm under peak torque , what if your torque peaks @ 4700 rpm ? Can't see driving on the street or highway with that .

Decent info there, but when I saw "according to B&M", I lost interest.....

As to your question, my experience is that the flash speed off idle is pretty much the same. The real difference is that more gear catches up to it faster. Meaning it just tightens up earlier in the pass/run. Most of the time on street cars, it's not a huge issue, as the gear will pull you versus riding the converter.

will still quit "slipping?" (lack of a better word) at the same rpm, if your not in it. the gears will make a diff.! in feel.
