A 2,500 stall speed doesn’t mean you need to rev the motor to 2,500 rpm for the vehicle to move.” What it does mean in this case is 2,500 rpm is the limit at which the converter will hold back the engine speed if transmission output is prohibited.
What stall converter do I need for towing?
If your motor generates more power in the lower RPM range, you’ll want to select a converter that stalls at the beginning of that RPM range. If you use your vehicle for towing, make sure your torque is around 1800 RPMs.
Is a low stall torque converter better for towing?
A truck towing a trailer through a hilly area where it’s impossible to stay in one gear is a perfect example of where a low-stall converter would be ideally suited.

What are the disadvantages of a high stall converter?
Also, acceleration will be poor. It is common for those who ‘think’ their car is big and bad, have poor times on the track because of gears being too tall, carbs being too large, and low stalls. At any time when higher stall converters are installed, you should ensure an external tranny cooler of some type is used.
How much does stall speed affect transmission performance?
Plus, the higher the stall speed, the more heat the converter will make with hydraulic fluid inside of the converter. Normally a high stall converter will be able to make enough heat to destroy a transmission if you are holding the line too long at full RPM if the stall speed is higher than 3500RPM.
