Use a good trans cooler and worry about something else that's important. I run a 8" TA that stalls 6200rpm, I drive it everywhere and the closest cruise nite is 30 miles away. Dave
 My niece runs a 3400 b&m with a 484 mp w/cooler and 410's all day,highway,stopngo in a 63 Dodge 330(watta boat)going on 3 years now with no issue's.
I also think your going to be really surprised.

USING a good quality converter ...NOT to worry 
Yep, my dynamic flashed at 3500 and cruised down the highway at stock-like rpms.

Don't be afraid to do the best thing you can possibly do, call a converter company and get one matched to your car. Off the shelf stuff can always be a crapshoot.

the fin pitch, stator design and construction can essentially make a smaller diameter converter flash AND become efficient at speeds...
picture a pinwheel behind a fan - one will push the other and it will eventually get close to the same speed.
That is a positive pitch on the fins, the old school way to get stall was to put a negative pitch, and it would work against itself never getting efficient. Not anymore.
I put this together a few years ago - might be worth the read.
