yes rpms is the difference. When you drive a stalled car and mash the pedal it will immediately take you engine to the set amount the stall can handle. So in other words you get into your power band quicker.
If you ease in to your throttle you will have a limited amount of slipage but it wont flash to max rpm. It kind of feels like moving under the power of a slipping clutch.

Nope it is how high you want. Best bet is tell the place you are buying yours from and have them recomend one for your application and purpose.

using your example of a 3000 RPM stall converter.. It will idle just like normal but it will flash or rev to 3000rpm if you stomp on it. whn you acelerate like normal it will rev up more than stock and hold higher RPM's when part throttle but still pretty much drive like a stock torque converter car.

Ok thanks guys for all the info thus far..its really starting to sink in now(about time right lol). The only thing I seem to be a little foggy on still is when you accelerate like normal(not racing) will the car feel any different than stock?...will the rpms act any different than stock? Thanks.
