for starters you use someone you can trust
2nd you should feel the difference when you drive it
ie: if you've fitted a high stall when your taking off (slowly) it will feel like the g'box is slipping till you hit just under the stall rating.
if it's been shift kitted it will shift quite harsh when being driven hard

going by memory the instructions from dominator say idle along at 10kmh and nail it watching the tacho. it should flash up to what ever stall you have. followed by the disclaimer"cation rear wheels may break traction at this point".
if its manualized put it in drive and drive of and it will bog down until road speed comes up to match gear, like taking of in 3rd or 4th in a manual.

if you cant feel the difference between a shift kitted auto with a high stall and a standard one there is no point in getting one for your car, there is a huge difference in the feel.

as above you will notice a big difference over stock.
and always use someone with the trust of knowen racers, a trip out the local drags or car shows may be in order to assertain a reputable tranny mechanic as i would not entrust your local rebuilder with this job.

I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't get instructions like that now...something about nailing a 350 hp engine and not watching where you are going would have me a little concerned.
Put your foot on the brakes, put the box into D and put your foot down....revs will rise until it hits the stall point. Don't do this for any more than 15 seconds. The box should be warmed up first as temperature does have an effect on the stall speed.

makka thats how high stalls workEH, if you can bring it all the way up like that, you have got a very loose coverter
they're designed to slip "till stall revs are obtailed then lock.
if your running a high lift cam, using a standard converter is like trying to release clutch at idle in a manual
