it can be different for each car and traction dependent. I've been able to stall it to 3300 and launch but my best 60's come from stalling to 2500-2800RPM's and going WOT. most guys i talk to say thats their sweet spot also. I have a 3800.2.5 with 2.73's though and can dead hook out the hole doing it that way

Each car is different. Start at 2000 and work your way up. Once you break traction, you'll know what the limit is.

This also depends on the kind of converter it is. Like said before, just start at like 2000 and work your way up.
