3800 to much stall for NOS???

After tuning I was thinking about spraying a 100 shot, is the stall to high for NOS? I know the hotcam works well with the juice but I'm worried my stall may be to big for the giggle gas. <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0">

Re: 3800 to much stall for NOS???

Never heard of a Vig "3800". If you are talking about a Vig 3200 that stalls 3800 behind a stock LS1, then yes, it's about as high of a stall as you want to run with a 245mm (9.5") converter configuration. I say go for it. If you are talking about a Vig 3600 with a lucky #7 pump, I say good luck to you, not many have gone fast with them on the juice. If your converter is looser than this, you won't get good gains on the gas...Vig 3200 is about the max you want to run for good gains with N2O.

I love it, the lock-up isn't just perfect but after a few highway miles it locks right up. Its is a different car for sure, pulls like a *****!!!

Well sure, if all you're spraying is a 50 shot a loose converter like the Vig "3600" would do ok. Make it 150 shot and see how high that sucker stalls! <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0">

3800 + 100hp will work, especially if you're raising your powerband a little with that hotcam. If you're shifting around 6200'ish, 4000-4500 stall will be ok. 100 shot shouldn't strain the stall speed TOO much. All converters are different though! Goodluck!, everyone needs a 100 shot....at least.
