Any quality converter place (typically ones who specialize in racing converters) can open up a torque converter and re-stall it to any stall speed you want. This is typically done by altering the angle of the fins inside the converter. That's an oversimplified explanation, but that's how it's done. I've had it done on other cars.
Typical cost is $400 or so.

I would upgrade a converter without hesitation since I will only run R comp tires beginning this spring.

This would be worth 400 dollars. If there was a local shop to me that I trusted to do it, I would for testing purposes and report back to you. We would need to figure out what a good stall RPM would be. Maybe between 3000 and 4000?

And I think 3-4k for a stall is too high in this application. I'm thinking lower...2.2-2.5k
My only concern is how the ecu might react.
