That's not a dumb question dude! It's actually very smart to ask IMHO.

A 250 shot is pretty healthy. In a 1/4 mile pass I would think that a 4400 stall would be pretty loose. In a 1/8 mile pass you might get away with it.

With that H/C combo it will want to make power low... I would recommend a stall in the 3,600 - 4,000 range. It really is going to depend on how quickly you bring in the N20.

Is this a DD car as well?

Well, the 4400 is fine for NA, but you're leaving A LOT of useful torque on the table on the spray. With a decent shot of n2o, you'll blow WAY through that converter.

In all fairness I think 3800 might be high... but converters are very combination dependant. I do think you need a starting point and 3800 is as good a place as any to begin.

With the 3.73 you might look at the PT4000 or at least a SS4000 the PT and SS will put more power to the ground that you current converter.

Since I have nitrous, I went with the Vig 4000 3 disc converter. You can lock the converter at WOT in 3rd, and never worry about spraying through the converter. If you want to know more call RPM Transmissions.
