Stall questions... just a couple of questions.
1. Does increasing your stall do anything at all to your top speed?
2. Can someone explain what the feeling difference is between a stock verter and say a 4000 and what causes this to happen?
3. If 3 cars were identical except for the verter, (one stock, one 3000 and one 4000) what would the race look like time wise between them?
Just trying to understand how the stalls work in relation to times, drivability and gas milage. THANKS!!

2. The easiest way I can think of is to compare it to a manual tranny. A "loose" converter will feel like a manual if you were to slowly ride the clutch out as you accelerated. It does not transfer power till you get higher rpm's. How high depends on the converter design, STR has a lot to do with this.
3. That is a near impossible to answer, because you have different ways to achieve stall. But typically the higher stall would get a better launch, then the lower stall would have more efficiency, so it might catch up.
On a side note: A properly built high stall converter gains more than it looses. As they say a .1 in a 60 is .2 in E.T.

1.) No.
2.) Start by reading this sticky. It should get you the basic knowledge that you are requesting, and you can go from there. https://ls1tech.com/forums/automatic-transmission/728728-commonly-asked-stall-transmission-related-questions.html
Please note, this is not a put off, it will just give you the basics so you can ask more advanced questions if need be.
3.) Depends on the power you are putting down, but a stalled motor will always beat the stock stall. As to which stall, depends on the motor.
Times will decrease, driveability will be minimally affected, mileage will decrease slightly. The price for performance, unfortunately.
