Sounds awesome Tom! An 8" may be too loose for the nitrous if you're still gonna run it.

I decided to have Muscle Motors build me a new 540" short block. ... I am going to sell my 496" short block. ... I need to go to a 4.56 gear from the 4.10 ...
I don't understand why you would take the 4.10 gear out. What size slicks are you running? I would think 9.0 and 150 mph could be close with the right head porting. I don't even have a roller cam in my 511.

I follow what the others say, you might want to try the converter and gears you have. The motor might like to shift at 6700 with a big rollercam, 280+ intake duration at .050, and may be OK with your converter, or maybe loosen it up some.
