Default stall converter on factory C-4 tranny

Hi, is it a good idea to put a stall converter on a factory c4 tranny or should i do a rebuild with a hipo kit first?

I put one in my '67 with a stock C4, but I hated it and changed it out for a stock one.

From what I understand about stall converters, they are used to get the RPM's up into the power band of your motor. I have a 289-4V with a mild cam, Edelbrock Performer Intake/ 600CFM Carb, and Windsor Jr Heads. I hated having to rev up my engine, just to get the car to move.

I wouldn't recommend on putting it in a stock c4 tranny.

I've heard people had problems with doing that.
