in an auto you have a torque converter... these usually operate at 1500 rpm.. helps you get off the mark at low revs...
A stall converter lets you build the revs up to a point..(depending on the size of stall) allowing you to reach the torque range b4 taking off eg 3200 stall lets you get the revs to 2800-3200 b4 the car starts moving... so if you hit the loud pedal.... the car launches quicker.... like revving your car up and slipping the clutch for a faster take off
