Default Which is the best converter on the highway

I plan on getting a g5x2 cam and I was wondering the best converter for when I get fucked with on the highway?

i think a really high stall (4000+)
with low STR.
i say low STR because i read that low STR is high shift extention,
and high STR is low SE.

im thinking PT4200/PT4400?

got to feel crappy when trying to cruise around town, though..

You need at least a 4000 stall converter.

3.42 - SS4000
3.73 - PT4000
4.10 - PT4400

Thanks for the info guys, The reason Im going with the g5x2 over the g5x3 is I mostly run from a dig with slicks and the way I understand it the g5x3 is more top end,please correct me if Im wrong.

A 4000 stall eliminates the bottom end TQ of these cams at WOT because you'll never be below 4000 at WOT.
