Yes, it does help Keleigh! I thought 2400 stall was a bit much for a stock conveter. 2000-2200 is more like it.

A 90 4.0, stock except for Ford HO injectors and a K&N cone filter is bolted to a 999 TF out of a 86 YJ, stock except for an RV shift kit. The converter is a rebuilt stock. Stall speed was between 2100 and 2200. Hope this is useful information...

You should be able to easily hold the brakes up to around 2400-2500 rpm. Just don't hole the brake or engine speed long, don't want to burn anything up! A second or two won't hurt though. You know, like spooling the engine up for a hard launch.
