I had that cam in my last set up and I put a 3000 rpm stall in for it. With 3.73s I was pulling high 1.6 60 foots.
As for the workings of the stall, I'm not sure I could explain it very well.

Torque converters explained. Performance converter info.

I'd suggest contacting a company (PI, Yank, Edge, etc) and discuss your cam and use of the car. You'll get the right converter for your application this way.

I'm running the M29 M6 which has some different gearing in it, I don't think you will be happy until you move up to at least some 3.73's in the rear.....ever with a 2500-3000 stall.

Id go with a 3200. You won't be sorry! I had a 2800 when my car was an auto and I think I would have liked a 3000-3200, and I still had my stock cam.

You could run something as small as a 2400-2600 converter with that cam, but a 2800-3200 will be faster. Add on 3.42's-3.73's you will do a lot better.

you'll be fine. a friend has a vig 3600 on their LS1 and it drives fine around town. a 3000-3200 would be nice around town, enough to turn a cople heads but not enough to kill your mileage.
