At least 4000 unless you plan on spraying,STR is up to you depending on how extream you want to go and what tires/suspension. Driving a TCI SSF 3500 on stock internal w/3.73 I am dying for something larger.

Should look at a dyno for your car to determine peak torque and hp. A quote to help:
"Selection of the right stall speed for your vehicle should be matched to the engines peak torque; engines torque curve, and vehicle weight. In general, the desired stall speed would be 500-700 RPM below the engine RPM at peak torque. The speed allows a margin for application of the torque reserve on takeoff.
When selecting stall speed without having an accurate and precise engine peak torque rating, it is better to conservatively estimate the engine torque than it is to over estimate it. If you over estimate the torque output, the resulting stall speed will be lower than intended and is likely to make the vehicle slow off the line, increasing your ET."
Then consider what hp increases from mods are you going to have in the future. And really do your research - NOT all converters are alike
