I did the same swap, you will never regret it. Sure I miss bangin gears, but launching off the brake at 5600 rpms, cutting 1.3 60' times is a lot more fun. The car sounds awesome btw.

Well I run a 28" tire too. When I was a 6 speed I was crossing the traps around 7100, but with the th400 I get a little bit of converter slip. You have to account for that too, and there's nowhere to go when 3rd gear is done. Regardless of nitrous or n/a, our trap speeds are similar so the same thing might happen to you. Hopefully it works out for you though.

Car is going to fly! You may loose a little bit of MPH but the ET will pick up big time. I run 26 inch ET Drags and have run the times in the sig. I think with the big stall and the 28 inch tires you will be fine. When I ran the 10.25 at 129.5 I did not hit the rev limiter which is set at 7,200 RPM's!
Good luck with it.
