Default Torque Converter?

((1999 GMC Sierra 5.3L Reg. Cab, short bed)).I've been looking into torque converters because from what I've herd, they dramatically lower 1/4 mile times and 0-60 times. What would you all recomend, would a Yank 2600 work,(PLEASE NOTE; My truck is a daily driver and soon will be driving about 50 miles to college 4 days a week). Also is there any extra strain put on my drivetrain when a higher stall is installed(2600stall-3000stall)? Will a 2600-3000 stall work with stock engine components?
