Effect of Stall converters?

Effect of Stall converters?
What is the seat of the pants feel like? Does the stall converter rating, (ie: 2800 stall)effectivly not let the drive train engage until it reaches this stall rpm? Or does it only have this effect at WOT? A high stall would seem to cause a loss of every day drive-ability. Is this so?
Does anyone know the factory stall rpm for a 2002 sc Z71,5.3l.3:73 ? Please advise. Thanks.

Factory stall is 1600-1700 rpm. The drive train is still engaged during low RPM operation. With a loser converter you can brake stall to a higher RPM, you get more flash and shift exstension is much higher. Between shifts the shift exstension keeps your motor running at higher rpms, which keeps your motor in a better power range. Yes you can take off before you get to 3000 rpm's.

I wouldn't go to radical with your stall though. I would get a Yank 2600 or 3000 at most. I have the 2600 in my truck and love it. I rhink rhw truck should come with a bigger convertor. It amkes it a lot sportier to drive.

Listen to the guys running them. A 3000 stall is very liveable on the street. I've been running a 3000 stall in my heavyweight Tahoe for 3 years as a daily driver. I absolutely love it. I'm thinking of going bigger soon so do 3000 stall at a minimum.
