What Does A High Stall Torque Converter Feel Like?
I'm still debating a conversion to 5sp or tranny rebuild. if i rebuild it ill get some performance parts. what i wanna know is how a high stall tq converter feels liek in everyday driving. is there lag or does it jerk? i really have no clues so throw them at me...i have no time to search im at work.

I might get a tranny rebuild too from Level Ten. It's a Stage I rebuild. I wouldn't get a high stall converter unless you drag race often.

The big difference is when you mash the accelerator from a stop. The car won't launch until your car reaches it's stall speed, but when it does, it'll launch with more power at the wheels and you'll get faster times providing you have enough traction.
Why shouldn't you get too high of a stall speed? Well theoretically, normal accelerating below your stall speed will feel more sluggish & that'll affect your everyday drivablility. However, I have a Protorque torque converter with a 2800 stall speed and I hardly notice any difference with normal everyday driving.
