If you hear a 3000rpm stally, it means in first gear, the gear doesnt engage untill you rev it to 3000rpm.
Its like dumping your car at 3000rpm in a manual, but you are doing it in an auto. So you will set your auto stall coverter to optimam settings for drag racing etc.
Dunno how much it costs?!?

Hey mate, I've heard that you can drive the car no probs around town but when you hit a red light you put your foot on the brake and load your stally. Sorta like spooling a turbo, you dont have to hit 3000rpm before ya car moves if you were leaving a parking spot. Be interesting though!
