IMHO if your going to get a stall converter. . . .get a performance converter, ie: PI, Cirle D, Yank. . .etc

yes, theyre good for the price. But with that much power I would look into getting a real converter.

Guessing behind a cammed radix it would be above 2600.

Sure your better off going with a performance unit. But if the price is right and the tranny is out I'd go for it. If you like it and want / need to beef it up, drop in a more performance oriented one next time you have the tranny out. I'm sure it won't be too long.
On the other hand if it could harm the tranny I'd hold off for a performance unit.

STR???

if its the stall then it brake stalls to around 2300 and flashes to 2100 or so.

its worth it on a mild setup like mine but on somethinf FI i would definently get something bigger
