stall is dictated by the cam size and rear gear along with vehicle weight. I have a 3 mile old 2600 stall with anti-ballooning plate for a TH400 if you'd be interested in it PM me. This would be a perfect nitrous stall IMO if you didn't go nuts with the cam.

That 2600 would be a great stall since it'll probably flash 3000 or so on the nitrous and with your low gear that would be a great cruising setup for around town.

Well thats just a guesstimate on the weight as it has no rear ANYTHING, and two light *** beard seats up front, no heater stuff, no accessories, and f.glass hood. I'll know for sure when i can get to a scale under its own power.
