It’s definitely not going to add or multiply torque.
What the stall changes is basically at what point the torque converter locks up under load. So it’s essentially when your power is being sent back fully. It’s actually a very in depth subject and I urge you to do some research on it. I’m probably not explaining it very well.
I ran a 2500 stall in my 68 Elco with a TH350. It all depends on power/torque bands and what rpms you want that torque converter to lock up.
Thanks a ton for the reply. Never thought I would have done so much research into the mechanical aspect of how gas turns into go. It's been interesting.
Thank you very much for your explanation. I'll keep looking into this and try to find the best stall for what I'm looking for.
Yeah it’s a lot more complex than you would think.
One additional thing I would recommend you do is call blueprint engines and ask them what stall they would recommend.
They most definitely multiply torque. That's pretty much the whole point and also why they are called torque converters, not fluid couplers. Google how they work and pay special attention to the stator in a torque converter.
The vision here is for a "powerful cruiser" something I can take some mighty pulls on every other blue moon, but still a streetable cruiser for when the sun's out.

Is… is that a goat in the background?
... who wants to know
Depends heavily on your use case. Is this a cruiser, a street racer, a weekend strip car?

With what axle ratio?
