How much horsepower does a stall converter add?

The reason a stall converter works is simple; an engine at 1,200 RPM is only making about 80 or so horsepower (on average), but at 2,500 RPM it could be making 150 to 200 HP, and obviously trying to get a car moving using 150-200 HP is going to be much easier than one trying to launch at 80 HP or so.

How much power can the 6R80?

1000HP

What happens if stall speed is too high?

Converter stall speed must be high enough to put the engine into the torque range where it can most efficiently launch the car. If converter stall speed is too low, the car will be lazy leaving the line; if too high, there’ll be excessive high-gear slippage—either case adds time to your e.t.
