It pertains to automatic trans. It is the RPM the engine will go to before moveing the vehicle. Like if you hold your foot on the brake & accelerator at the same time the engine will reach that particular RPM. High stall speeds are used with high performance cams. It makes poor driveability. A low stall speed with an engine with good low seed torque makes a good driver.
