I'm running an FTI also and have no complaints. My short times aren't really as good as I thought they would be, but I have a feeling it's because I'm not hitting it with enough nitrous. Greg is a great guy to deal with though and I recommend you give him a shot.

for FYI...
if you were saying your car would buck and shake on a 3500 stall...
then you have problems with your tune...
I have a much bigger cam and had no issues with my car when it was an M6....
lugged it along in 6th gear as a daily driver...
also, your MS4 will be fine with nitrous... you may need to jet it larger to get an actual 300 hit because you will be blowing some of it out the overlap in the cam...
a smaller cam with a bigger split and less overlap will typically benefit more from nitrous
as far as stall speed...
its sort of gonna depend on what you want to do and how you want it to drive on motor.
if you drive your car a lot on the street, then a slightly lower stall speed might suit you better
if its an all out racecar, then it would better suit you to go with a higher stall..
Lots of good vendors... Yank, FTI, mentioned in previous posts... bot make great converters and can both spec them to what you want or need.
and Just because you order it as a "3600" doesnt mean you will get a "3600"... it may be a little less or a little more.. and on nitrous...its going to be more....
you really need to know what the power curve of your engine looks like to determine what size stall will suit you best, and the vendor you chose to make it, will benefit from the same data.
also, the series of converter you get will also determine some of its characteristics.
example... a Yank SS3600 will be considerably softer and looser on the juice compared to a Yank PY3600 race converter

how much do you need ill have to spray at it to get an actual 300? i am hoping my pump will keep up with a 300 shot, i am a aeromotive 340 with a hotwire kit. hopefully the pump can keep up, so far its done fine on the 200 shot.

I spent probably close to an hour on the phone with Greg, his converter did exactly what he said it would do. I've only had one track visit to where I can say was an actual test session, which was still crappy on my part since I decided to enter a KOS event which kept me from touching the car...lol. Anyways, NA the car went 1.58 leaving at 1k Rpms instead of putting it at 3800 on the 2step, I tried once but it just blew the tires off...so deffinently could of gone quicker. Then on a 150 shot, it went 1.45, carried the tires for about 6ft then unloaded and spun the rest of the 60ft. No doubt going with Greg has been the best choice I've made with the car in 2yrs
