Which converter should i go with that will offer the longest lifetime and handle up to 5oohp/800 ft lb of torque?? I dont sled pull but i do tow and my right foot is not shy of the skinny pedal. Also ive heard a lot about stall speed. what is the stock stall speed?? does anyone know?? And what stall speed should i look for to get the best performance?

With good tuning...you don't even need the converter...the stocker is much better than people give it credit for.
I have a built trans with a stock converter....well over 600 HP on nitrous...closer to 700...and it outlasted the short block...which kicked a rod out at 138,000 miles.
