Ummm , well i see predator gave u a good answer here .

you can go with any cam but that depends on the usage of the vehicle whether it as a daily use , street strip or a drag car , anyways its recommanded to change the vavle springs , push rods ...etc and also TQ converter in order to function in the right way and get every bit oh hp out of your motor.

The last advise I can give you is SEARCH SEARCH and SEARCH .

First do bolt ons before you think cam.
And in an auto, change to higher stall, you'll benefit more than just any cam swap without supporting mods.

VIG 3200/TCI 3500/ Yank 3500 will get you at least .5 time reductions if you hook

Never go less than a true 3500 stall, you'll end up going bigger.

I will advise you as predator mentioned to go bolt-ons, and when ever you get your cam choice . throw your matched stall with it , thats better than changing the stall again and again while you swap your cam.

It will be fine.. You will like the car ALOT more then you do now with just a TC. And after, get some headers, then I would look at a cam. Just my .02
