Damn well better, since I've been using a 3K stall for about 30 something years.
OK, there's more to it than that, like vehicle weight, rear gearing, and cam/engine power band.
My engine components "kick in" around 2800 - 3000 rpm and on a launch, the 3K stall works well. The flip side is that for daily street or show driving, you do feel the converter spooling up to transfer the rpm, making the car feel a little sluggish.
The other way of looking at it, is the stall has to be high enough to let the engine spin, so you aren't fighting the engine with the break at a stop light.
There are guys here who can give you a more detailed explanation, so that was just an over view.
Figuring out what the engines real power band would is be the first step, and it ain't gonna be 1800 - 6000 rpm. If it is, I want that cam!!!
