It's my understanding that the bigger the converter, the tighter it's gonna drive, meaning it's gonna feel closer to stock under normal driving conditions and the smaller the converter, the looser it's gonna feel under normal driving conditions. I could be off on this aswell.

The 245mm should have a looser feel to it meaning that driving around town and accelerating from a stop, your rpm's will flash up higher to get moving. A 265mm would feel a little tighter meaning less flash up to get moving. I don't think your actual stall speed affects driveability.

In theory a 245mm and 265mm converter both with 3000 rpm stall will flash to the same rpm.. The main difference is street driveability. A 245mm converter will require more throttle to get the truck moving, but will flash to the desired rpm faster.. In a car platform this doesn't matter as much because of the weight of the car. In a truck I'm sure it could get annoying.
