Will increased power and torque change stall points and shift extension upwards?
Title asks the question. If this is so, what kind of power and torque does it take to increase stall speed above what the torque converter is rated at? I'm running at 376 rwhp and 375 rwtorque, SAE corrected and smoothed, right now, with 3.15 gears. That works out to roughly 470, or so, of each at the crank. I will be installing a Yank SS3200 converter in the spring. Will my stall speed be close to 3200 rpm and shift extension about 4250 rpm? thanks for any experience and/or thoughts.

It will stall higher than 3200. The stall speed is from a stock powered LS1. When adding more torque and HP the stall speed increases. I don't know how much higher though. Ask Yank.
