I'm going to sound like a d!ck no matter how I say this but It wont even hit at all with a combo like that. 4.11s would be ok but stalls dont "hit". I used to think that, for example, a 4000 stall was like DUMPING the clutch at 4000rpm. Not the case at all. It will feel like you have a slipping clutch the whole time. Unless you're pushing 500+ hp a 4000 stall will make you engine SCREAM leaving a stoplight like an old lady. Granted, you may leave the line at a better spot in the power band but over all your performance will go down the drain. I'm just trying to help dude, honestly. But, you may be a lot like me and have to learn throuh personal actions.
