Would a 2400 stall converter work for a daily driver?

I wouldn't be afraid of it.  Looser converters provide great thottle response.

If you do a stall, and gear, just make sure to add an after market trans cooler!
I'm biased to the tfs stage 1 :D

I've had the E-303 and now the TFS-1. I like the Trick Flow cam better. That video above sounds very similar to my engine. I also have the "P" engine. Make SURE you swap the valve springs. The Sport has tons of torque and can rev high when it wants to without breaking a sweat. Nice lopey idle, and still, decent gas mileage.

I'm running a 2800 stall non-lock up converter and I've got great throttle response. The guy who did my trans said it would be perfect for my car since it's heavier than a Mustang and he was right. The higher stall converters just feel a bit disconnected at speeds below their stall rating. It's a bit hard to describe but if you've driven a car with a higher stall converter you'll see what I mean.
