Assuming that the install was properly done, your misfire tables in the tune may need to be adjusted to higher values till the no lockup condition goes away. I had mine set to max with the intention of working it down to lower levels at some point. HTH

If the stall was not installed right then it would not work, It really just goes one way, if its not right it will not bolt in. Because if the stall is not all the way in you will have clearance issues.
