I dont know what to tell you on the converter except contact yank. As for the clunk generally its caused by a loose torque arm bushing or worn one and or a bad trans mount

Even if it's not a nitrous convertor a Yank SS3600 will handle 100-150 shot.

A nitrous converter will normally have an anti-balooning plate installed to handle the instantaneous horsepower of a nitrous system.
