Your gas milage will suffer during normal stuff. Should remain about the same though when you're towing. You'll have better towing performance with a higher stall since the torque peak for our engines is around that range. Might be worth talking to a custom torque converter shop to see what they say about transmission fluid temperature rise (might want to have a direct to air tranny cooler). You'll still want a locking torque converter of course, without and you'll have HORRID gas milage, not to mention it'll heat the fluid up badly if its unlocked and you're just cruising down the road.
