how will this converter affect the car?

hey guys. I'm told by a friend to get a 3000 - 3500 stall converter for my GN. I know it will help the turbo to spool, but how will it affect the way the car drives (compared to stock). Am i gonna have to rev the engine up to 3000-3500 rpm just to get it to start rolling?? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I am interested to know before I get one. I was looking to get the 9/11 converter from bruce.

if it's more of a daily driver you might want to consider like a 2800-3200 ?!

if it it driven as a daily driver ,i would like to remind you that the lower the stall speed the easier the car will respond to force applied to the gas pedal .this means driving around town and on the hi way the engine will be able to move the car more easier and with less fuel consumption and engine wear w/ a 2500 stall verses a 28 or 3800 .the stall speed is a rating of maximum engine rpm and maximum fluid coupling between the flyweel and input shaft .hi stall in a strreet car is a waste of fuel and engine bearing overloading .if your car is not meant to race or you dont use it for that you ,your wallet and the environment willbe much better off w/ a 12 inch 23/2500 stall speedconvertor .even if its a LOCKUP fellas .www.ckperformance.comyou wont have to rev up to 3500 to move but the coupling can be as low as 40 percent at 1000 ropms making the car unusually uncomfortable to street drive .on the track however it will be more responsive and launch harderv but now the engibne may overpower the tires making it hard to drive and control because you are leaving at or near the engines max torque band.
