Yank SS3600. Those gears will help keep things tight for daily driving.

Wow, that's a tough question to answer. The tire contact patch and drag co-efficient or compound have as much to do with that as how well your brakes hold. I would guess somewhere around 2500-2800 rpm.

And I would suggest a stall speed somehwere in the 3200 - 3400 rpm because of the nitrous hit. It is not a big hit of course, but you do not want to be blowing through the converter.

SS3600. Nitrous will cause the converter to stall or "flash" at a much higher rpm. If the converter is very loose to begin with the juice can push the stall speed past a useable rpm. Example: a 4400 stall might flash at 5400 with a 150 shot...etc.

No, you just need a strong, such as billet, plate for nitrous. For the OP, 3400-4000 converters seem to be the norm. I am completely happy with my 3400, some prefer up to a 4000. The worse thing to do, IMO, is to go too small. FE, a 2400 would be a joke and not useful at all.
AFA what is the foot stall, heck, there are too many variables. It will certainly be much higher than your stock (1600) capability. And will also depend on your tune, btw.
