The size of the converter relates a lot to the stall and RPM. A smaller converter will take a lot more rpm to get the fluid moving thru the stator to make the car move. The larger the converter is the more hp/torque it can take also. (reason diesel trucks have 13'' converters) and the larger the converter is the lower the stall speed can be also.
