i will give you my experience with this and before any flaming starts, this is just MY experience.
I do not have a t-brake so i have to footbrake at the track. It seems that my brakes can only hold around 3000rpms before the car starts pushing thru the lights. if I use the e-brake as well, I imagine I can get another 300 rpms before it pushes thru the beams. Now with that being said, after having a 3200 and 3800 stall, i ended up with a 2800 stall. Why, you have to use the brakes and a 2 step to build boost at the line for the best 60'. It does no good to have a 4000 stall converter if the brakes cant hold it. Now of course the looser stall may be able to footbrake a little higher because its slipping but then its not putting as much load on the turbos and you wont get as much boost. Besides, who wants to be driving around with a 4000 stall
Just my 2 cents but a 2800-3200 is about perfect in my combo. the 2800 feels like stock daily driving and 60' the same as the 3800. Now every car/combo is different but thats my experience
