Well, they are talking about the offset being wrong for the two piece shaft which actually needs to go if you are planning on putting it behind any engine north of 350hp....

. Torque converter stall RPMs isn't so critical for MPG/heat when you can lock up the converter for cruising...

. Today's new vehicles all seem to have fairly loose stock converters... they like to get good 1/4 mile times in magazine tests... 2500 RPM stall has always been common with the little 4-banger engines...

. My '87 Pontiac GTA TPI 350 has about a 1100 RPM tight stall... that's when the rear tires both start spinning even with the brakes on... of course, TPI 350 a low RPM torque engine... power fades after 4500 RPMs because of the long TPI intake tubes... more noise than power above that...
