Default G5X2 or Torquer with 3.73's?

Hey everyone...since I've pretty much gotten my first round of mods (bolt-ons/exhaust) done, I'm looking into a cam to put in next year. Right now I have 2.73's and, although they are great highway gears and give me pretty good gas mileage, I want something more. On the gas mileage note, I don't think I'll have much to worry about, as my friend has the same car with 3.23's and his mpg is no worse than mine. Plus, I now have a more free-flowing exhaust, SLP cold air, and a pulley (last two claim some mpg gain, we'll see). I'm going to swap in 3.73's and was wondering if either the G5X2 or TSP Torquer (haven't decided which to get) would work alright with these. In addition to the cam, I'll also be getting either a 2800 or 3000 stall torque converter. I'm looking to increase my horespower of course, but want some solid low end torque with a fairly flat curve. Any preferences or recommendations? Thanks.

I would go with the torquer, out of the two cams you listed. Especially since you are only planning on a 3000 stall and 3.73 gears. I would recommend going higher on the stall too.
