Default Bad Advice?

I told my friend (who works at a performance warehouse, he was gonna get me a stall converter for very cheap), that i wanted a converter stalled at 3000rpm, and he said that it would be a very bad idea to do this as the tires would be spinning whenever i launch, especially with hills and rain. I disagreed, but he said that it would be very uncomfortable. What do you guys think?

Well, no! A 3000 stall will not make you burn out everywhere. It will still drive like normal but just with a bit more gas pedal. If I were you, I would get a 3500 or higher stall.

Your friend should be working in a taco stand where he can't hurt anybody.
