Stock converter flashes Mayby 2000 and foot brake's 1800 the new stall sounds like a good one with your converter and cam choice for towing. There's a YouTube video wondering around the difference on the dyno of mud terrain's vs little wheels with street tires and the number difference was crazy! 40 something rwhp gain with the little tires.

Thats weird, my 06 ccsb z71 only flashes to 1500 rpms from a dead stop. Also my brother inlaws 04 3/4 hd flashes to 2000 rpms. Not sure whats the difference is, but ive never anything close to that.

Another thing some converters have bigger / smaller diameters, different STR (stall torque ratios), efficiency etc and that also makes a factor in mpg loss.
In some cases your MPG can go up 1-2mpg because of Efficiency and torque multiplication.

And the talk about STR is very important when talking convertors. An efficient 3000 convertor will drive just as nice as stock and still tow just fine. Or you can get a sloppy one that is just a pig to drive. 3000 would be great with that cam, and mpg is nothing great to start with in these trucks so a little worse is not that noticeable. Once locked however the stall speed doesn't matter making highway driving mileage virtually identical.
