Actually, it is the mass of the converter that affects the idle speed. The newer converter is lgihter and won't maintain the rpm advantage of the OE heavy converter. Have someone in your area with HPTuners bump up your idle about 50-100 rpms, that will cure the problem.

After I Had My Vig 2800 Installed I Had The Idle Raised A Couple 100 Rpms. It Cured My Stalling Problem.
