Kitz,
I agree with you, and I took out a 4000 stall unit that the previous owner had thought was "streetable" since he put in a tranny cooler. The lowest I was able to go without standing on the brake pedal with both feet was a 2800 stall unit from Coan, which worked fine until my second 4000 rpm launch with the trans brake (live and learn). The motor has a 286H Comp Cams bumpstick which isn't too radical, but I guess the TQ of the motor/blower is coming into play.

Thanks again guys. This board is especially great for the biker/wrench guys like me who have decided to take up muscle cars as part of their hobby!
