I believe it.
My Silverado brake stalls @ 1200-1400 range.
Depending on where your vehicle is destined to go to , back east, west etc, there are different converters w/different stalls.
My friend found this out when looking for a different converter for his 2001 GMC mid size truck.
He had told me the stalls for his particular truck could range from 1600-2100 or so stall, with different letter codes stamped on the converter.
Not sure if the older cars GM did this, I do not think so, but who knows?
You could call Yank,
http://www.converter.cc/default.asp & tell them your combo, what HP & torque your engine produces, rear gear ratio, weight of car etc, so they can have a better idea of how to make your converter stall the way you want.
I think a 12" Saturday night special "TCI"
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/tci-241500-a/overview/would work OK for you.
The 2000 stall advertised, you probably will not see a 2000 stall, probably would see 1600-1800 brake stall, that being said, with this type of a generic converter, (mass produced) you would be better off w/a an advertised stall of 2300-2400 from TCI or B&M etc.
I think a Yank converter will drop your ET's down lower, but not sure exactly what you want out of the converter change?
My Moms 1999 Olds Intrigue 3.8 liter V-6 back stalls too 2800 RPM IIRC, & when you drive that car, it drives like any mundane ho hum V-6 car, but when you nail the throttle it takes off pretty good considering it is by no means a race or fast car.
In my Camaro I have an Old Darrel Young 10" AKA (Darrel Junk)
3500 stall torque converter, the absolute highest brake stall I ever seen was 2800 RPM, my 250 6 just never made enough low RPM torque to stall it that high.
If you put that same 3500 stall 10" converter behind a decent 350 SBC, it would more likely stall to 3500, because that's how it was rated with, a SBC 350 in mind.
An efficient converter will not make you lose too much MPG, but adding a higher stall will always drop your mileage.
