i have the same convertor as my buddy, i run 4.10 gears, he runs 2.73 gears. mine is only slightly tighter taking off on the street and we have a wide difference in gearing. i dont believe it makes a significant difference. def not to justify the cost.

if you are hung up on a 3200 convertor purely for the number, then get a Precision Industries 3200 - as it stalls to 3600-3700 rpms in real life/.

get something built specifically for your application if you can...some off the shelf 3200 as said before, can stall anywhere from 2800-3700...how much power the car makes, and the weight of the car play a role in it aswell. i had a 2400 stall, and i loved it for the measily 3 weeks my tranny didnt suck at life. but granted im an LT1, and get most the torque down low anyways.

...sounds like a neat experience for someone interested, but did we really have to bring up a 3 year old post?
