Also, are you sure 4400 isn't too high of a stall to run with on the bottle?
Be nice to that transmission, you may end up shopping for a rebuilt one or a turbo 400 swap before too long.
That is my eventual plan. Already have bolt ons and MS3, still need suspension, little things, forged internals, heads and the nitrous. Man, I have a long way to go.
