Re: Effect of Stall converters?
How long will a converter swap take if you are mechanically inclined? What will I need beyond the converter and the tools? Will the boys at Chevy be voiding my warranty if I do this? I have about 17k on my 2002, so I have alot of time left on the warranty. Please advise.

Do ya have access to a lift or is this gonna be in the drive way? If in the driveway, I'd recommend just shelling out $250 to pay someone...my weekends are too valuable to have a immobile vehicle.
If your trans breaks and the dealer notices you have a 3000 stall you will probably be denied, but it is a risk well worth taking. I don't see a pretty much stock (few bolt-ons) 4L60E taking a dump that soon even with the slight increase in STR.

Not trying to scare you off. Definitely do the converter, you won't regret it. I went with a GM 2000 stall and I'm still miffed at myself for not waiting the few days for my Yank 3000 to show up. I'm also glad I did the shift kit not only because of the obvious benefits but because it's how I discovered that my tranny was taking a crap. Now I have a fresh and strong tranny.

Get the TransGo shift kit. It firms up the shifts and increases the tranny's longevity. Install billet servos too. Umm, get Predator or Edit to get rid of torque management

Transgo shift kit, transmission oil cooler, and 3000 stall(minimum) 
The way my truck feels I really think these motors would love a 3500-3800 stall but, I'm sure towing would not be possible with something like that.
4.10's and a 3800 stall would probably make a wicked combo.
