Default Which TC should I get?

I'm in the process of having a 4l80e being built from FLT and I need some input on the torque converter I should throw in. My truck is a daily driver and I want to be able to get off the line quick, I was thinking of getting around a 2400-2600 stall.
What are the pros and cons of this decision? What would be better?

Good question... I was very un happy with my Art Carr torque converter. The truck felt slow, got bad fuel milage, hotter trans temps, and ran slower in the 1/4. I'm sure someone can point you to a good converter and stall speed. BUT IMHO. stock is good. besides Turbos like engine load.......... BTW I have my ART CARR for sell for dirt cheap. it needs to be rebuilt, but ART CARR said it would be around 175 bucks to cut it open...

Well i'd be getting a new one and FLT deals with precision industries TCs, so thats what I would be getting.
