RE: torque convertor
A little more stall will put less strain on your engine at idle. It will also allow your engine to reach higher RPM's before locking up, giving you a better launch.
Just make sure any stall speed you pick is lower than your typical cruise RPM. If it isn't, you can burn up your tranny with the excess slipping of the torque converter.
