That someone may have been me. I can brake stall mine to over 3K RPM, but what might be relevant is that I'm in a heavy Tahoe and my gear ratio is only an anemic 3.23 (for now). I'll eventually be going to a 4.10 or 4.30, which I expect might have the effect of lowering the brake stall capability.

And like Chris of Circle D said above, variation is to be expected, meaning two off-the-shelf converters labeled the same as each other will perform differently in two identical vehicles.

on et streets at the track, mine brake stalls to 2600, and flashes to 3100... on the street, I couldn't tell you because it blows through 1st gear in about 30ft. Lol

I just installed a 3000-3200 circil-d 278 converter and I have been looking at this post. The converter has about 200 miles on it so I was going to brake stall it for the first time to see what it went to, but before it reach stall speed quess what happened.......
