I'd say 2800 is ideal for a fairly stock stang to best balance performance and economy (actual stall speed varies with different engines anyway). The stock is 1500 rpm.
My car could definately use a 3000 rpm converter. Fuel economy already sucks, so I could use it for getting off the line. I'd switch over to a lock-up, though, to save me some on the highway.
