Default Is my fuddle on borrowed time?

After reading other post's about tc's life expectancy on nitrous I'm wondering how long my fuddle 3000 stall is going to hold up.
I have a Zex 125 shot on my car right now and am worried that my fuddle's going to blow out any time. It's their standard model verter and while it seem's fine so far I'm concerned that it won't last much longer.
Should I swap the 75 shot pill's back in untill I can get a stronger converter?
I have 2.73 gear's in the rear.
What do you guy's think?

What does Fuddle rate this torque converter to in terms of torque?, and horsepower? This should give you an idea of what to expect in terms of longevity. Remember most TC's are rated on the conservative side.

Yeah, I have been to the Yank website and am looking at the yank 3300 stall which they say will work well with my 2.73 gear's and nitrous.
Have not looked at any vig's yet.
