Every car and combination will vary to a degree. You don't want to stall it as high as possible, as that will "push" the car out of the beams versus launching it at a lower rpm. My current 3800 stall I launch around 1700-2000 depending on reaction times I'm cutting (since I bracket race). The Honda shouldn't be a problem!

3600+ stall is where you should be.

put it in 1st.. come to a stop... Mat it.. se where rev goes before you move.. remember it... launch there...
power brakeing gives you a false converter stall....
and get a converter that suits your engines peak TQ range.. bigger is not always better. why put a 4500 stall in an eng that peak rpm is say 5100 and peak TQ is 1500... you just waisted your whole powerband in slip.
but i could be wrong. /shrug
just my 2 cents.
