I just dont like the fact that there is basically nothing at the low RPMs. Just slipping. Its just my preference. Can't talk me out of it.

its not actually slipping, Just hasnt engaged yet.
Its all up to you. But the more duration the more the cam is going to LIKE higher rpms more then lower rpms. Higher duration cams are to make more power at higher rpms.

I'm not saying that a looser converter won't make a nice difference or that it's not even preferred if moving to a bigger cam, but I am saying it isn't required!

Incorrectly referring to it as a stall. Sorry torque convertor. Happy?
There are many names people refer to a stall convertor or torquee convertor by and trying to downplay what i am saying by telling me stall is incorrect i don't know. I mean the thread title has the word "stall" in it???? So i'm sure he knows what i am referring to!
I'm not saying you can't run a stock convertor but in all honeslty it's stupid to do. Thats my opinon and i understand you don't have to agree. Thats fine do as you wish.
I simply am trying to help the guy by telling him convertors that will work damn near like stock and i guess that part was lost on you.
Forgive me if anything i said didn't make 100%sense to you i am very sorry.

I am aware of the way a torque convertor works. If the engine output speed is not equal to the tranny input speed, I personally would call that slipping (ineffiency). I do realize its because its not actually engaged yet.
My main purpose of the this thread is to discern if the aftermarket torque convertors are really, absolutely a necessity. I drive in city conditions a lot. Some people think the engine with the stock cam needs an aftermarket convertor to best match it.
This isnt even going to be a 100% permanent decision. I just dont want to go through the hassle to just do the convertor at the moment.
