contents Given a pair of filling curves $α, β$ on a surface of genus $g$ with $n$ punctures, we explicitly compute the mapping classes realizing the minimal dilatation over all the pseudo-Anosov maps given by the Thurston construction on $α,β$. We do so by solving for the minimal spectral radius in a congruence subgroup of $\text{PSL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$. We apply this result to realized lower bounds on intersection number between $α$ and $β$ to give the minimal dilatation over any Thurston construction pA map on $Σ_{g,n}$ given by a filling pair $α\cup β$.
