When you do a brake tourque your tires will break loose and spin at 1500 rpms, with a higher stall it will be, well... higher. It allows much harder launches
So it's not very practical for a daily driver, just only good if you are drag racing from a stop?

I know that much, but my 2500 isnt at 2500, more like 2000-2100. If i had like 50 more at the wheels it would be more like 2500 right?
No, the horsepower has nothing to do with the stall speed of the converter. With the 2500 stall, that's about right, you should start breaking traction around 2k - 2200. Maybe 2800 - 3000 stall, might be what you are looking for if you drag race your ride! I wouldn't go higher than 3000 with a daily driver! Good Luck!
wrong. hp and torque have everything to do with stall speed. a big block will stall the converter higher than a 3.8 because it has more torque. a converter is a torque multiplier.

a 3200 stall is not too high for a 3.8. my 2500 feels no different than stock. going to an Edge converter 3200 single disk lockup. i start breaking traction at about 1800. if i had a bigblock it would stall higher.

rpmxtorque makes overall stall speed. not rpm alone

anyone that has a 3000 or higher stall on their V6 will tell you that is the only way to go

about $600 for one of them but sometimes you can find them on EBAY cheaper
I said 3200 IMO is too high for a daily driver. Not to say that you can't run the high stall around town, but I wouldn't. If youdrag your sixer alot,probably worth it to get the 3200.Well, obviously if you have more horsepower, you have more torque so you are right to a point. There are numerous variables that affect the stall speed of the torque converter, such as, tires, gears, etc... You keep saying a big block, of course big blocks have more torque, they naturally have more HP and torque which is no comparison to a v6. To the OP, yes adding 50 hp to the wheels will give you more torque, which will let you launch(stall) harder!

Yeah, i thought for sure your numbers will determine final speed, thanks for clearing that up.

i found another source that says that all you have to do is switch the yoke. the gt/v6 driveshafts are also interchangable. not the cobra tho
