With a lockup torque converter you can get away with a 2200 rpm convertor and get it to lock in 2,3,&4th. I have a 2200 rpm convertor in my s/w with a 700R4 and its fine. A 100HP shot of NO2 for 1/2 sec coming off the line does wonders for getting the turbo to spool.. a local Ford guy has a 2.3 inline 4 turbo motor in a fox body mustang.. runs low 11's @ 125 mph this is at 3500' ASL. He runs a 150HP shot off the line.
