Ive driven a solid roller 347 fox with a 4000+ nitrous stall that was loose as hell, it takes about 10 min to get used to, then its a blast...lol

Hell yea, when I tell old school muscle car guys what stall I run they freak out and ask how I deal with it lol. If they only knew...

dont be afraid of a big stall i have acircle d 5c which is 4000+stall with 373..when i had a ssf 3500 stall with 323..it was loose..id be in park put in drive and take my foot off brakes and it would NOT move till i gave it gas..Now with my cricle d 4000+stall with 373..i put in drive and as soon as i take my foot off brake it was rollin out without havin to give it gas..so to me its tight like it is stock but as soon as i nail,well its a beast..needless to say i drive on hoosiers and fullsusupension minus shocks

The reason is the computer controlled converter clutch lock up. The old school cars don't have that. Without that feature, you would not like it much either.
