If you're planning on spraying it I'd stay under 4000.

No because if you don't go big, you won't get into the powerband of that cam.

The 3600 will stall closer to 4000 when you spray. I personally think it would be a good converter for your setup.

I woudn't go any tighter than what you have. I have the same cam, and would like to spray it also. My stall is a 4200 and I plan on keeping it. I am curious what your rev limiter is set at. You might want to raise it a bit, but other than that, sounds to me like you've got a good stall size.

I would go Yank SS3600....4000 is too much on the spray, I found out the hard way. I have a 382 with big cam, etc. and on a 175 shot, it would blow right through the PT4000 converter I had....now I am going with a SS3600.

yes a 3500 or 3600 is perfect for the MS4 im getting the same cam and im getting a TC built for my car from PTC here in alabama, for only $450 and getting it shipped to my door. these will work well with nitrous also. do not go with a 4000 stall WAY to big..
