Hughes Torque Converters

I have a GM35 (hughes 3500 stall) converter, and was planning on using it on my new combo... The motor is a 10:1 383 stroker with Dart Aluminum 215cc heads, and a nitrous HP cam (NX284h-13). I will be hitting it with a dual stage nitrous system.. First stage 150, second stage 150, total 300hp nitrous. My question is, will this converter stand up to this combo???? I can't find anywhere where they describe the torque, and hp limitations of this converter.. Any input would be appreciated.

check to make sure that the hughes has a ballooning plate to handle the two stage nitrous i would acctually recomend a precision industries converter ive run both think the prec. is a nicer converter ati also makes a nice converter

I'd say to call Hughes. But in any case, it will stall a lot higher with a 300hp nitrous shot!
