With the technology of today's converters you would be suprised how big of a stall you can run and it act like stock. You could run a quality 9.5" 3200 stall that would out perform the hell out of a 11.5-12" 2500 stall and drive just like stock. Also, a stall will lockup at about 43mph unless changed in the tune so on the highway your not in the stall at all. I DD'd my car an hour each way to school with 3.73's and a Yank 3600 stall and it drove damn near stock until I laid into it. Before I got my first stall I was looking at 2800's because I was afraid of the same thing as you. I then did alot of research, talked to several people and converter companies and was convinced to go larger since they act so well. I listened to them and never looked back. I just hate to see you make a potentially bad decision but in the end it's up to you. Either way it's certainly better than the stock converter.
I agree with you 100%
I would say low 14's maybe a 13.90 with your basically stock stall.
sorry to say I dont know, never been to a track yet. I wanna go sometime this summer and try to dip into the 12s. There isn't any drag strips near where I live. I got nitto drs coming tomorrow, and I was considering doing gears. Right now I've only got the stock 3.23s(a4 car) so i may look at getting some 3.73s next, first i have to get my car quieter though its to loud right now.
I ran 13.60's with shorties, 1.6 RR's, flowmaster muffler, and a CAI on BALD *** street tires...
Ive seen several ws6 LT1 cars run low 13's with just exhaust just a couple minor bolt ons
I'd bet on low 13's with your setup with a perfect run, perfect driving, and perfect traction.

If you are wanting better times at the track, then go with a bit bigger converter. As far as highway driving, you won't be annoyed with it. As stated already, the converter will lockup, and it will drive pretty much like it does now.
