Converter good
Cam Good
If you are positive you are getting a blower later, decide what kind and, then plan your converter and cam around that so you dont have to swap again.

 

with a higher stall converter you will lose mpg in the city.
on the hwy you will not b/c the converter will be locked.

 

A higher stall will do nothing for low end acceleration, but it will improve your take offs.

If you really want low end acceleration, then you need a cam, heads, etc. that will build gobs of torque in the lower RPM range. A higher stall negates the lower RPM range.
