Stall speed

I have a question about stall speeds. If you have a convertor with a 3000 stall, would you have to keep engine rpms above that to keep from building excess heat and causing trans or convertor failure? My car will see a lot of highway use. Just trying to plan the right combination now so I don't have to change things later. Would rather put a milder package together and have drivability than a real hot setup. Current motor thats going in is a 383 9.2 compression with a .484 purple shaft cam. Since its going to be a street car would I be better served with a milder cam that can go with a stock convertor? Thanks. Neil
