Default how big of stall with my set up?

im about to buy a stall converter. i was wondering if u guys could lead me in the right direction. my set up is a 306 with protop line heads...my cam specs are COMP Cams Nitrous HP Camshafts
Camshaft, Hydraulic Roller Tappet, Advertised Duration 274/ 286, Lift .555/ .570at 050 inch lift duration is 224 int./236 exh..i have a stock intake right now. i will be spraying a 100-150 shot but not sure yet. the trans i have is a aod it was rebuilt about 2000 miles ago with a shift kit and a cheap 2800 stall. after spraying nitrous from a dead dig i guess i "ballooned up" the stall. im not sure but i think i might get a TCI stall. i called they said the would have to custom make it...i want it to be a 3500 stall with an anti ballooning plate. but im not sure.......any help would be greatly appreciated. the sooner i kno wat to get the sooner i can order it

thanks jeff

I'd at least put a 3500 in it and maybe even a 3800

if its a street car, a high stall is gonna suck. if you go 3200 or better, i invest in a neckbrace

they're wrong!! expecially if you go with TCI.......their advertised flash stall is a lot higher than actual flash!! Friend has a 3000 that starts to flash at 2400...we can never get 3000 before it literally pushes the car

Line lock at the line???[&:].......I'd foot brake at the line..line lock is just for burnout's
