Default Contemplating bigger stall-What gains have YOU seen from going bigger?

Hey everyone, we currently have a 3,200 Edge stall in the GTA and love it. I feel like we may be leaving a lot on the table at the track though. Its best 60 ft so far has been a 1.55, resulting in the 11.22 pass at 121 mph. If memory serves we made peak torque around 4,400 or so. Would there be enough pick up to justify spending the time and money to have the converter re-stalled? I think the str right now is about 2.3 and it is hitting at exactly 3,200 while wearing et streets on the track. With a good burn out it dead hooks as can be seen in the video in my signature.
I realize it would be a little looser on the street but am not concerned because as of now it's hard to tell it even has a stall when in cruising around mode. Hit the throttle and it's a different story.
I'm looking for examples, especially from those of you who have time slips, of what you picked up, what you went from and to.
Right now she runs super strong but we can hear the cam isn't in yet as we leave the line, and we're about 25 feet out before the motor really starts pulling.
Thanks for chiming in

Was this the wrong question to ask? Certainly someone has some experience in this department. I have searched and searched but can't find answers.

What tire size & gear are you running? I bet that cam doesn't start to pull until close to 4k. I really can't give you any info as I just swapped the 6spd out of my car in favor of a th350.. My cam is a 236/246 on a 110 & I went with a 4k stall & will be running a 28" radial w/ a 3.90 gear.. I'm actually thinking about re-stalling mine higher & haven't even driven the car yet, lol.

I'm running stock size tires (245/50/16's I think) and a 3.91 gear in the 9 bolt rear end. It's pulling good off the line according to the 1.55 60 ft. time but like you said the cam doesn't really come in hard until around 4,400 or later.

I would do a 4000 with a lower STR, it will launch similar but pull more MPH
My last converter was 3800 flash and a 1.8STR and it locked up like crazy up top and I was doing 1.60's with all stock suspension and 10 bolt, trying not to break it. Think I could have gotten into the 1.5's pretty easy if I had a better rear
