I'm not positive because I'm an M6'er but I think you can lock something in the converter, and if that something isn't locked in the converter is "loose".
I may be way off but that't what I think it is.

Try posting this question in the automatic transmission section. You'll get an answer there.
Higher stall means higher RPMs to get the car moving. You'll get a better answer from the guys who use converters. I drive a M6 so I'm not familiar with all the details.

"loose" is a term used to describe the feeling when a car is reving but it doesn't seem like it's moving much....usually higer stalls and lower gearing will make a car feel loose.

I see you have 3.73s, those and a 3200 stall will be just fine!

also, each converter has a rated STR ( stall torque ratio )
the higher the STR the harder the car will hit from a stop.

If I wanted to get a 3500 stall and my car only had 3.23s..I would try and get a converter with a higher STR to make the car feel less sluggish off the line, or less "loose"

Hope this all makes sense!
