gear affect on tq converter stall speed

How does swapping gears affect the tq converters stall speed?

Example: I just swapped from 3.23's to 4.10.

Does this have any effect on the stall and how?

The stall speed is built into the converter design, and more or less gear will change the work load that it will see, so more gear will let it work with less slip and be more efficient sooner.
