High stall converter needed?

I have a 1980 F350 DRW that is under going some engine work. The engine will have 9 - 9.3:1 compression, C6, 4.10 gears, intake, headers, tires are 31.6" tall (says Discount tire site), 2wd. I am leaning towards a
Comp Cam Grind Number:XE262H

RPM Operating Range:1,400-5,600

Lifter Style:Hydraulic Flat Tappet
Camshaft Series:Xtreme Energy
Camshaft Gear Attachment:1-Bolt

Summit says maybe a 2,000 stall converter, Comp says stock ok, machinist says I might want a converter.
What's the real answer, if there is one. Truck will do some light hauling, occasional heavier hauling, maybe some towing.
thanks for any help
