Hi Junior, Hypothetically you would want approx 5200RPM stall. Most N/A dyno sheets I see have around a 1200 to 1800 difference in torque peak to HP peak (ie - 5200 torque - 66-6800 hp peak). One of the common theories is to try to have your stall 1500RPM below your shift RPM, which should be close to what a particular combo needs to get down the track fairly decent. But again, every combo is different(ie.-bore,stroke,heads,cam,intake, etc.) trans type and gear ratio play a huge part in the equation also. That is why a one off piece, given all the variables,built exclusively to suit your combo will be in your best interest. Remember the converter is just one piece in a well running,well thought out combination. Hope this helps.
