Stock high stall converter stall? 5.9 magnum

I'm not sure what high and low stall means?

The advertised tq and hp specs of a cam mean jack.. They are often inaccurate. Let's pretend that cam makes peak torque at 1800, which I highly doubt it does, you'd want a convertor that stalls at 2300rpm behind your combo.

Chrysler had two different converters for the 904 (as well as the 727 in 10 3/4 cores) both in lockup, and non lockup form. One was tighter than the other. My goal is to run as tight of a converter as I can and be both consistent at the track and have a decent lockup at cruise, should I opt for a non lockup unit. Obviously the cam won't produce peak torque at 1800, but hopefully it will be making enough to pull cleanly and not fall on its face . The guy I bought it from sent along a cam read out, and it is spot on advertised specs.
Like I said, I know it will be giving up 60 ft for sure, and that is OK for what I want to do. I just want to find out how well the higher stall version might work for my application. I friend of mine runs a 340 converter behind a moderately built 440, and that works Very well, despite having a fairly long duration cam in it.
