Default cam question for 98 trans am

hey all, i'm looking for a good DD cam. the mods on my car are on my cardomain site. its a 98 trans am A4. I was looking at the TR228, TR224, and TSP 231/237. Which LSA is good for an auto? I will stall, but I'm debating which stall size to go with, probably 2800 or 3200.

At least 3200 stall & TR224 114 lsa. Or 112 for a little more chop at idle. Do a little research, you'll come up with the same thing. Or you could try Thunders new CheaTR cam. Good driving cam that makes good power.

I heard 112lsa isn't a good choice for a auto? i have been researching for the past few weeks and have mixed ideas.

it doesn't matter which lsa you get, the key to making a cam work in an auto is the stall converter. either one of those cams on a 112 lsa would work well with a 2800-3200 converter. i am assuming you have 323 gears. do some research and determine for yourself, don't let anyone talk you in or out of a cam. as the cam is one of the most important mods you can do, and a lot of planning has to go into a properly configured cammed car.

i had the tsp 231/237 cam in my auto with the factory stall, and a factory gear and its driveability was actually good. my car had been tuned for a hotcam when i put it in, but its alot bigger than a hotcam.
