As far as a stall affecting drivabilty, it will be the same as stock whenever it locks up in 3rd or OD. So long trips shouldn't be a problem. But like Silverado Kid said, you would definitely want a stall higher than 3200 for the MS3. A set of ported 243's would also add a considerable amount of power. Just something else to think about.

Of course you can get the stall later on, it just won't perform best until then. Some people act like a cammed truck won't run and drive without a stall. It'll just be doggy down low and off the line.

Exactly, it will suck *** until you get the right stall.

It's hard to say dude. Some guys roll in cammed trucks with stock stalls and are absolutely fine with it while others "need" a higher stall. I honestly don't think it would be too bad, but many people would say the opposite. You just have to decide on the setup you want and go from there. A 2500rpm stall is a little low for trying to get good 1/4 mile times anyway.
