I don't know if stalls have break in periods or not, but other than that, nothing else on your list requires a break in period.

Converter break in also goes beyond just driving it in one direction for a long period of time. The point of the break in is a bunch of lock/unlock cycles to break in the lock up clutch.

Setup should move nicely, you'll likely need to get some RPM out of it though to take advantage of that 4400 stall.

Yeah I was a little worried that it might be overkill with that much stall bt for the price I got it for, I couldnt pass it up.

Buy it, sell it, and get a stall that better suits your set up.

Just make sure you get some real tire under there(et street) so you can see what that stall is about

Big stall like that is gonna want a lot of tire and a lot of gear . Should be down right violent out of the hole.

No big deal as long as you run enough air pressure

Last I checked they only go to 17".

You wouldn't get much life out of something like that.
