is it a b&m? is it custom made for your car?

if you answered yes to the first question or no to the second question, there is nothing wrong with your converter. its just a piece of sh*t off the shelf converter and you thought you were saving money by buying a $200 converter but surprise, you didnt.

rarely does a 3k converter stall up to 3k there are some many variables and one is close to the above is the tolerates of the converter

That stall is not rated for a 3000 rpm foot brake stall, that's a 3000 rpm transbrake stall. Where did you get your converter from? It should foot brake stall up to about 2000-2200 rpms.
