Exclamation how to figure out what torque converter for me?

I have no clue. Daily driver. Dyno at 422rwhp for now. Have a bigger throttle body to fix that!
link to my dyno graph:

95 bird. Will have a dana 60 at time of installation w/ 3.73 most likely.
What more is needed to know/look at/decide on?

The folks at PI (Vigilante) told me once that for a street/strip car you want the converter to stall at 900 rpm below the torque peak....Looking at your graph I'd look at a 3600-3800....I have a fairly similar set up and use the Vig 3600..Diehard customer since 1996...
