3.) Your not gonna regret it. The driveability is fine, my dad who is in his 50's gets in my car and drives it and loves the stall.

And I think a 3200+ stall would be nasty with your setup and the 3:73's. So man up.
Trust me, that's why I want to get one. I got my MT ET Street Radials yesterday, size 255/50R16. That will help nicely also..
How does the Tranny hold up if you said that it's like the factory one, and works nicely when you hammer it..

Fwiw, I had a 2800 first with a comp 216/220 (little tourqey cam) with 3.7 gears, it wasn't long before I
went up 3200, then 3600 then 3800 ,now a PY 3400E cos its blown now.
but the 3600 was just about able to be driven like a stock one, and rev when ya need it.

Well you have to rundown a little checklist before you just go in there and stall it up.

How long have you been since a rebuild? If it's been relatively recent, then your good. Make sure you have a decent shift kit (TransPack or TransGo), and also a good B&M Trans Cooler (24,000GVW). A restalled factory converter is no good. Aftermarket converters are smaller in size which gives them less rotating mass. Hit up the Automatic Transmission section here there is lots of good information in there! Let me know if I could help you in any other way as well.
