You might want to try posting your question over in the transmission forum. I'll give it a guess though. You want your trans hooking up about the same time your engine gets into the bottum of the power band. I've never set up an autimatic for drag racing but I have played with some manuals. I would want the rpms as far into the power band as I could get without spinning the tires. This is easier with a clutch because you control both rpm and clutch engagement. Talk to who your buying your stall converter from.

I would wun about a 2200-2500 stall. I wouldn't go much more than that with a 3.50 gear. That would get you into the powerband of the camshaft. Something along the lines of a B&M Holeshot would probably work pretty good.
