Do I want/need a higher stall converter?
I will be putting a new engine in my 2000 Silverado soon. L33 with LS6 cam, truck intake, headers. It will be sitting on 37" tires with 4.88 gears. I barely ever use the truck, mostly to haul my sleds in the winter or for the occasional trip to Home Depot. I want to be able to haul a vehicle if I have to. What do you recommend for a converter?

Stock converters are fairly tight to begin with. A very nice, efficient and well built converter that stalls somewhere between 2,800 and 3,200 will give you years of reliability and performance. The key is an efficient converter as a loose converter will tend to build heat when it is not locked up... and towing can aggravate the issue.
