Default Torque converter

Currently running a stock converter on my twin turbo C5. What can I expect going to a 2400 stall converter

I wouldn’t even waste my time with a 2400 rpm converter. I run a 4000 RPM converter custom spec’ed by PTC in my single turbo combo. The car street drives close to like a factory converter. It takes a few hundred more rpm’s to get the car moving from a dead stop verses a factory converter but it’s well worth it.

3600 is the lowest I would even consider...

I run a 5300 on my tt c5. I definitely wouldn't want it any lower. At worst see what rpm full boost comes in and go with that.
