Stall speed ok for N2O?
Stall speed ok for N2O? I just picked up a Nitrous Outlet Wet EFI kit and was going to spray 100 shot. I am somewhat on a budget and would like to keep the cost minimal so I am going to use the fogger nozzle that came with the kit. Might upgrade to a plate or MAF kit later when $$ allows. I just recently had my torque converter restalled to a 4200 and was wondering if this would be ok with my combo in my '02 B4C in my sig? Shift point is set at 6600 RPM and I will pull some timing. Any help would be appreciated.

I just bought one from Yank and after telling the folks there that I would be shooting a NO plate system's 150 shot into my Firebird with a mild cam and P/P stage 2 TEA 243's they built me a 3600SS.

IMO thats way too much stall but it depends on the weight of your car. And your torque. What does it flash to now on the motor? As a general rule of thumb figure 1000 over advertised stall on n2o so your looking at 5200 Which doesn't leave you a lot of rpm. I have a 2000 SS shop car and we have a 3000 stall in it with a 408 and a 300 shot and it flashes on the bottle at around 4500. Thats spraying a 125 out of the hole. It comes out around 3000 on the motor and we shift it at 7400.

I went with a Yank SS3600 because Dave said a SS4000 might be too big if I sprayed a lot.
With 3.50 gears, the car was easily pulling 1.45 60fts and a 125 shot.

I talked with Dave about restalling my SS3800 to an SS4000 and he said the same thing to me. He advised against the 4000 since i would be spraying. He said that if anything, If I was going to send it for a restall stepping it down a little to a SS3600 would probably work best. Since I hadnt run it yet I decided to leave it alone and try it as a 3800 and see how it went.

sean think its really going to depend on how tight that stall is. Like a ss4000 you can get away with but a pt4000 not so much (drew's red trans am with the ss4000 handled a 100 dry but tranny went soon after). Good luck, btw do any th400 swaps yet, my tranny's still good but leaving for a deployment and toying with the idea when I get back to throw rear and th400 with transbrake to set me up for the next step (along with a few other goodies)

No, not yet. I actually just R&R'd the trans to swap converters yesterday. when i bought the car It had a ProTorque 2,800 in it which surprisingly worked awesome for the car with bolt-ons and a 100shot(1.6 60') but it wasnt enough to get me in the power band after the H/C/I swap.
