The torque converter in my car now allows the tires to break loose at just about exactly 2000rpm.

What converter are you currently using? I would bet an 11" would be a good choice, along with a big cooler seeing how those gears are going to work it hard.

If you are only racing this car I say get a good "hard hit" converter 3000-3500 rpm. Look at your cam specs and see where recommended rpm range is.
If this is a street/strip ride I say get a "soft hit" 3000 rpm converter. In my experience custom built converters are by far the best but it all depends on who builds them.
If you live in a city it is hard to get by with a 3000 rpm converter. I live in a small town and have no problems with a converter I can foot brake to 2800 rpm.
