Your max speed not counting tire growth with a th350 1:1 final gear 4.56 gear 28" tire should be 128 mph, with some grows plus 3-4 mph maybe. My experience, nitrous motors run lower stall, all motor cars run a high stall. If you drive this on the street more than just weekend crusing keep the stall to about 3500 max and run a nice large transcooler and a deep pan for extra fluid. You might not get max performance on the motor, but it'll use less gas, run cooler, be more dependable and remember is it a street car you want to go fast in or a race car you want to bearly drive on the street, from my experience, a little less is alway better than too much. I ran a 4500 in my car and it ate gas faster than a fat lady locked in a chocolate store. I'd recommend calling the cam company and ask what stall their customers run with that cam also contact your local drag race trans shop and ask them with your car weight, gear, tire size, trans type, and using nitrous what stall to use, see what most people recommend and go some place in the middle is what I would do.
