I'm using one of those in my car. I don't have a transbrake on my car so it's difficult to determine the exact stall. I can foot brake it up to 2,200 and it flashes between 3,500 to 4,000 in my car. I haven't tried it with the nitrous yet. It will more than likely stall higher behind your 454.

how fast is your car and what does it weigh/60foot?:thumbsup:

It weighs 3,350 with me in it and runs 11.30's at 120. Sixty foot times are 1.65 - 1.66. The sixty foot times should be at least a tenth quicker. The car hooks, the converter is just not loose enough for my setup. As you can see from my sig, my motor is only a 355 with a big roller cam and AFR 210 heads. Another 100 cubes will make that converter work good.
