It's more like square vs rectangle: a square is a specific type of rectangle, but a rectangle is not always a square. A stall converter is a specific subset of torque converters, but not all torque converters can be classified as stall converter.
Eh, I think you guys are complicating things, when it doesn't need to be. You have a stock torque converter. You can buy "performance" torque converters. Or replace "torque" with "stall".

I am not disagreeing with anyone because honestly we all are kind of right

Or high stall converter or high torque converter. It's the same exact thing.

I'd prefer another shop if there was an option. So I'll just have to live with what I have for now. :now:
