It is more important to match the TC to the engine combination than just sticking a different TC in the thing

if you have stock tpi, then you want to keep the stall speed low. like a sat. night specieal from TCI. even w/the rest stock you WILL feel the diff. in acceleration. just make sure it matches the rpm power band of the eng.

but back to the question, if it is a small stall then you wont even notice a diff. unless you are geting on it. even the big stalls are fine on the street. My next stall speed will be 3800. which I exp. will actually stall to around 3200 rpms.
