What stall with a big single mount?
2.5 will be tighter, the lower the str the less harder it hits the tires but makes up for pulling up harder on the top end.
the tradeoff with lower str's is that they'll seem looser.

Too loose, and you blow through the converter and have a lot of slippage on the big end. More than 10% slippage is a lot I think. I think if you can stay between 5-10% slippage that's not bad for a race setup.
Too tight, and your converter won't flash up anywhere near where you make good power.
Personally for a street strip car, I'd go no lower than a 3500 true stall, and no higher than a 4500.
I need to see where my converter is flashing, maybe this weekend.

PSJ is still coming down from the world of blowers. We neeeeedddddd load on that turbo for cruising on the street. 
The 3500 is a good fit for a street/strip TH400 setup with a transbrake. It's plenty of stall for beating on it and cruising on the street. It's a nice balance of load and flashing to get up and go. The transbrake will allow you to hang up on the top end of the converter at the track and run it out at the top end.
