Since I'm running a PT4000 with a stock motor with just a few bolt-ons with success, I'd say a PT4400 would be great with a T-Rex. It's just going to be loose for driving around town but with a T-Rex you don't really care about that now do you? If you're thinking about spraying it either now or down the road, a 4400 is going to be too loose for you.

+1..

if you're looking to get the most out of a t-rex, get AT LEAST a 4400 stall.

4.10's out back will keep it from feeling too loose.

once you get above 4,000 stall they all drive the same. i bet if you just drove my 5100 stall around you would think it was a 4,000 or so. untill you floor it

Just fine. it really isn't as bad as people think. i bet just driving around town you wouldn't be able to tell the difference from a 4,000 stall to a 5k+ stall untill you stomp on it.

So what would be the downside to having a stall that big on a DD car?

Gas mileage in town. In town the speed limit is 35-40 mph here. My converter doesn't lock up until 50 mph so I get about 10 mpg with my 4.30's and T-Rex cam. Out on the highway when the converter locks I get 20-21 mpg.
