Launches were vastly stronger and because of the converter's smaller diameter (lighter), revving through the low gears felt like I dropped 500 lbs. WRONG! The new converter absolutely TRANSFORMED the car. Stall speed was only a couple hundred higher than the old one, so didn't expect much improvement. Anyway, I bought a blower-specific converter from Redneck over the internet (heard they were better than the catalog converters for similar money). I could foot-brake it higher than it's rated stall speed and the launch was just.

I had a cheapie in my TH-350 a few years back. Just knowing the stall speed doesn't tell you much about it's efficiency or torque multiplication. The quality of the converter matters a lot.
